LEDLET students welcomed to 29 Bedford Row for careers advice

30 June 2025

We are very much looking forward to once again meeting an impressive and inspiring group of students from under-represented backgrounds at the Lord Edmund-Davies Legal Education Trust (LEDLET) event in chambers on 30 July 2025.

Sir Nicholas Francis (one of LEDLET’s trustees), James Shortall, colleagues and friends from across the Bar will offer advice and tips in getting into a career in the law.

LEDLET is a charity which introduces Welsh students from lower socio-economic backgrounds to the law. The aim is to encourage the students to aim high and to give lie to the myth that a career in the law is only available to a select few. LEDLET seeks to reassure students that allegedly ‘not coming from the right background’ should never deter them from applying. The charity pays for travel and accommodation and will also fund the students appropriate dress for interviews.
