Building on the success and overwhelmingly positive feedback of our previous Law Academies, we are proud to announce the launch of our 2025-2026 Law Academy programme, set to be our biggest and most impactful year yet. As part of our continued commitment to supporting the next generation of legal professionals, we're delighted to be expanding our reach to welcome more students and partner with new schools across the region.


This year's Academy will provide a uniquely structured work experience for sixth form students considering a career in law. Designed to bridge the gap where traditional work placements are limited for this age group, the programme offers a hands-on introduction to the legal profession that goes far beyond the classroom.


Starting in October 2025, the Academy will deliver a series of monthly workshops to Year 12 and 13 students from a growing list of participating schools, including Norwich School, Thorpe St Andrew High School and Sprowston High School. With participant numbers growing year-on-year, our 2025-2026 cohort is set to be the most diverse and engaged yet.


The Law Academy comprises seven monthly evening sessions, running from October 2025 through to April 2026. Held at our Norwich office on Wednesday evenings, each workshop is delivered by legal professionals specialising in the areas being covered. The sessions are designed to be highly interactive and practical, giving students a realistic and insightful view of legal practice across a range of departments including wills, trusts and probate, commercial law, litigation, property law, personal injury and family law.


Each session is structured to simulate real-life legal scenarios, providing students with tangible experience that mirrors the day-to-day work of solicitors, legal executives and other legal professionals.


The Academy concludes with a final session focused on legal careers and qualification routes. Trainee solicitors, chartered legal executives, directors and barristers will share their personal career journeys and advice, providing students, parents and teachers with invaluable insights into the many pathways into law.


We are actively looking to collaborate with additional schools and welcome applications from sixth form students across the county who are interested in taking part. If you're a school interested in partnering with us or a student eager to gain a deeper understanding of the legal profession, we'd love to hear from you.

At Rogers & Norton, we are committed to fostering the aspirations of young people interested in law, equipping them with the knowledge and practical skills needed to pursue a career in the legal profession.
