A Transition Year (TY) student from Roscommon is a Solicitor of the Future after successfully completing the Law Society of Ireland’s innovative TY Programme.
Sarah Reilly from Mercy College Roscommon was one of 40 TY students that attended the popular week-long Solicitors of the Future programme at the Law Society in Dublin.
The programme aims to teach students about the law and to consider a future legal career.
Facilitated by Law Society staff, trainee solicitors, and expert practitioners, the activity-based programme featured expert-led workshops, guest speakers, courtroom activities, a careers seminar and a mini mock trial. In total, 40 students from schools across 13 counties participated.
President of the Law Society, Eamon Harrington, said: “Solicitors of the Future encourages TY students to consider a career in law while offering an insight into the role of a solicitor in practice. The programme is carefully planned to give students a holistic understanding of a legal career, and the many different forms this can take."
