Please see below a list of programmes that is available at Bila Law Academy: –

PATHWAYS INTO LAW
This programme is designed to give an insight into law and legal careers. We work with schools, colleges to offer structured work experience and shadowing to students aged 14 and over. Participants will have the opportunity to undertake legal problem-solving and legal tasks. The programme is designed to empower those wishing to pursue a career in law.

We facilitate and host student career conferences to help students gain opportunity to meet various legal professionals from different law firms, barristers’ chambers in the city, so that they can gain insights into law and learn about the roles that each professional play in the legal field.

We hold panel discussions, workshops, legal topics and networking events offering the opportunity for students to speak to solicitors, barristers, trainee solicitors, legal executives, paralegals and recruiters.

We help students explore apprentices in the legal profession to allow them to gain an understanding on the various options and routes into law and learn how to apply for law apprenticeships. We also aim to help students find work experience within the legal sector. 

LAW CAREER ADVICE – “Future Investment”
We provide employability workshops to inspire, aspire and help people with the transition from education to employment.  We help participants gain invaluable skills, knowledge which will help prepare them for professional jobs, legal job interviews, job applications, CV writing and various skills that will best prepare them to become future leaders.  Although the focus is on legal career, we believe the skills gained will be transferable to any career path our participants choose to pursue.  We can deliver the programme at schools, colleges or universities. Our aim is to bridge the gap between education and employment and help many more people live their dreams, reach their goals, potential and fulfil their purpose. We believe that this is our way of investing into our local communities, although we are able to reach out to participants nationally and internationally who can also apply to our programmes. We aim to provide an introduction to the different career options, how they work and how to go about securing education or employment in law.

FAMILY LAW PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
We provide Family Law training to professionals working in organisations such as charities, universities, organisations supporting families and the public sector. 

The training is ideal for organisations that work with individuals that may have been victims of domestic violence, NHS employees working directly with families, organisations working with people undergoing challenging divorce matters, contact centre workers, family support staff members and organisations that work with families undergoing court proceedings. 

The purpose of the training is to provide professionals with an insight to the legal aspects of matters affecting their clients, customers and patients so they can best assist them during challenging times and legal process.
