Midland Circuit is committed to promoting diversity in the legal sector and encouraging underrepresented candidates to pursue a career at the bar. With that aim in mind, we are excited to announce a new scholarship scheme, particularly focusing on such applicants.
- We are offering a scholarship of £15,000 for a deserving candidate who undertakes the BPTC.
- Successful candidates will be determined on merit and financial need.
- Candidates should provide any relevant details regarding personal background; their connection to the Midlands reasons why they wish to be a barrister in the Midlands.
- This will be considered alongside the answers to the competency questions.
APPLICANT REQUIREMENTS
For those studying law, or undertaking the GDL, and wishing to undertake the BPTC. The university currently attended need not be in the Midlands, but a strong link to the Midlands is required and must be evidenced within the application form. We particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates as they are underrepresented at the Bar.
Closing date - Friday 28th June 2024
