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.

Dónal is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Salford, leads the Post-Graduate Programme and is also an Associate Lecturer at the Open University.  Donal will discuss the ups and downs of a day in the life of a solicitor, the challenges of the profession, pre-law experience relevant to his current practice, how accessible the profession is those with disabilities, and how the law plays an interdisciplinary role across sectors. 

Hosted by Katie Jukes, Lecturer and Student Experience Manager, Law School
