The Law Society has just launched the 21stCentury Law
competition. The closing date for entries is 23:59 on Tuesday 12 May 2015.
The competition is being organised
by Harbottle
& Lewis, a leading Technology, Media and Entertainment law firm,
and Proceed,
the portal for legal student and graduate careers. Two
finalists will each win a week-long work placement at Harbottle & Lewis,
where they’ll get first hand work experience and be closely mentored by
Harbottle & Lewis lawyers, plus a guaranteed first round training contract
interview. The three runners up will also receive a first round training
contract interview.
About the competition
The rules of the competition are
simple. Candidates will be asked to answer one of two questions in no more than
500 words. You’ll need to demonstrate your intelligence, ability to identify
key commercial and legal issues and provide practical solutions to identified
problems. You’ll also need to complete a Proceed profile to ensure you meet the
entry criteria. To be eligible to enter you will need to be studying or
have studied law (please see the T&Cs
on the competition site).
The responses will be judged
and independently reviewed and, based purely on merit, the 12 most outstanding
eligible entries will be shortlisted. The shortlisted candidates will be
invited to discuss their answer with a panel of judges comprising of one
lawyer and a member of the HR department at Harbottle & Lewis and
a Law Society representative. The two winners and three runners up
will be notified by 20th
July.
