Family law: Life, litigation and real-world client work
What is it really like to practise family law? In this session, the BPP team will interview a panel of practising family lawyers to explore the realities of working in this challenging and deeply human area of practice.

Students will gain a clearer understanding of the day-to-day experience of family lawyers and the routes into this rewarding specialism.
