A career in law should not depend on where you go to school.
That is the idea behind Launchpad 2 Law, a new initiative established by Ashurst Perkins Coie, Clayton Utz and Gilbert + Tobin to broaden access to the legal profession for students across rural and regional NSW.
The program brings lawyers, universities and corporate partners into regional classrooms, giving students the chance to hear directly about studying law, career pathways and the opportunities available to them.
It also provides practical support beyond the classroom, including nine $10,000 scholarships each year, mentoring, university application resources and an annual Scholars’ Day & Dinner in Sydney.
The first school visits have already taken place in Wagga Wagga, the Hunter, Bathurst and the South Coast.
We are pleased to be part of an initiative focused on making the pathway into law clearer and more accessible for students in rural and regional communities.
