Law Firm Inspires Budding Legal Eagles
A leading Liverpool law firm has been giving youngsters the
opportunity to find out more about the legal profession through a
careers scheme for primary school children.
EAD Solicitors visited Dovedale Junior School in Allerton as
part of the 'Inspire Young Minds' Career Carousel initiative,
taking place at schools across Liverpool. Organised by Liverpool
Compact Education Business Partnership, the scheme has been
designed to expand children's minds and understanding of the world
by giving them an insight into working life, as well as encouraging
their career aspirations
Partner Yvonne Rogers, marketing and business development
manager Michaela Hickson, solicitor Amy Clague, secretary Kate
Miranda and office assistant Tom Walsh joined other local
businesses at Dovedale Junior School on 29 September to chat about
their jobs to Year 6 pupils.
The pupils, aged 10 and 11, gathered in groups of three and four
with individual EAD staff to ask questions about their job
roles.
Said Michaela Hickson of EAD: "We chatted to each group for five
or ten minutes and it was great to see such enthusiasm - we were
really impressed with the insightful questions the children asked
us.
"The event was an excellent opportunity to get involved with the
local community. We were glad to be able to help demystify the
legal profession and hopefully we've encouraged a few budding
lawyers along the way!"
