PRIME Commitment

Our members believe that if you want to work in law, you can come from any background at all. Any culture. Any social group. If you’ve got the right attitude, you can become a great lawyer. They offer work experience to students who might think a career in law is out of reach.

This Thursday is #SocialMobilityDay, which exists to promote wider conversations about social mobility. PRIME, and our members, are determined to improve access to, & socio-economic diversity within, the legal profession. #socialmobility #workexperience
