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. The discussion will cover the nature of the work, the skills required to succeed and the personal qualities that are particularly important when advising clients through significant life events. Students will gain a clearer understanding of the day-to-day experience of family lawyers and the routes into this rewarding specialism.

The role of pro bono in bridging justice gaps and driving social impact
In today’s rapidly evolving legal and social environment, pro bono work is no longer an optional extra - it’s an essential component of a responsible and modern legal practice. As public funding for legal services continues to shrink and social needs grow more complex, the role of lawyers in delivering free legal support has become increasingly important.
Join us for a panel discussion with lawyers at the forefront of pro bono, who will share their experiences, insights, and challenges. We’ll explore how firms are redefining success through meaningful pro bono work, how junior lawyers can get involved early, and what the future looks like as technology, regulatory change, and public pressure reshape the legal profession’s role in society.
Whether you’re committed to public interest work or exploring what pro bono might mean in your future career, this is a chance to hear directly from those making a difference.
