Pupils in London benefit from CLLS Support

Schools serving disadvantaged communities are likely to get a big boost from the City of London Law Society (CLLS) which has announced that at least 15 new workshops will be delivered in fifteen primary and junior schools within 15 miles of the City of London under its ‘ALL RISE’ initiative.

Designed to raise awareness of and aspiration for a legal career among pupils, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, at an early age ALL RISE is benefiting from £7.5Kfunding from the CLLS for thjis new initiative..

“I am incredibly grateful to the City of London Law Society for its support,” said James Stewart, a former solicitor but now a teacher and founder of All Rise. “With this, we will be able to reach many more schools in communities where opportunities for enrichment may be limited. As a result, more young people will gain a greater understanding of the legal and justice systems and how it shapes their lives. Teachers and pupils repeatedly tell us that these workshops are transformative, helping students to see the law as a positive force in society and to see that a career in law is within their reach.”
