University of Chester Law students visit Lincoln's Inn

On Wednesday 14 March 7 Law students from the University of Chester Law School attended an Information Afternoon and Evening at Lincoln's Inn in London.

The students mingled with undergraduates from other Universities over tea before sitting down to an afternoon of very interesting talks, given by practising barristers from both the employed and the self-employed bar.  The aim of the talks was not to try to recruit students to the Inn or the Bar as a profession, but to give them a realistic view of  life as a Barrister and the challenges they may meet along the way.

The talks were followed by a drinks reception, giving students the opportunity to network with Members of the Inn, including the speakers, other barristers and judges.  Everyone then took their places in the Old Hall for a formal dinner with speeches.

The students, who are all first years, thoroughly enjoyed the event.  Victoria Milton, one of the students who attended, said "I was fortunate enough to be seated opposite a now retired judge and to be able to speak to him throughout dinner about his experiences, and listen to his advice, was amazing!"
