Part of the Bringing Law to Life series of events 

How good is your understanding of the legal profession? Have you ever doubted whether you will ‘fit in’ to the profession for any reason?  Entering the law can feel intimidating for anyone, whatever their background or levels of confidence.  Please come along and join our series of conversations with those in the profession who want to share their experiences. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow your confidence about how Open University students can succeed in the law.

Amanda has been a Senior Crown Prosecutor, an Open University Associate Lecturer and is now a Legal Researcher.  Amanda will talk about the ups and downs of a day in the life of a prosecutor, the challenges of the profession and how law plays an interdisciplinary role across sectors.  Amanda will also discuss how to achieve a work-life balance, and different possible careers paths following a joint degree.

Hosted by Carol Edwards, Senior Lecturer and Student Experience Manager, Retention and Outcomes (Law) Lead
