Your Route Into Law: Why Firms hire Arts & Humanities Grads
Curious why your Arts & Humanities skills are in demand for some of the most competitive and well-paid graduate roles in the UK?
Are you an Arts & Humanities (History, Politics & International Relations, Philosophy, Languages & Linguistics) student or graduate wondering why firms actively recruit people like you into legal careers?
AllAboutLaw is hosting a free live online session with Lindsey, a legal graduate recruiter with 15+ years’ experience, to break it down clearly and answer your questions. The session will last c. 45 mins.
Around half of law firm hires come from non-law degrees. In this session, Lindsey will show how employers highly value critical thinking, research skills, clear writing, and the ability to construct compelling, well-reasoned arguments.
By the end, you’ll be clearer on:
- Why your Arts & Humanities background is genuinely relevant to law firms
- The typical routes into law, and what to do next
- How to translate your skills into applications, interviews and work experience
You’ll also have the chance to ask your questions in a live Q&A. If you want a candid, practical view of how to move from Arts & Humanities into law, this session is for you.
