Applications have opened for the Law Society’s annual Diversity Access Scheme (DAS), which aims to improve social mobility and diversity in the legal profession.

It is open to those looking to complete the Legal Practice Course (LPC) or the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) who need help with funding, accessing real work experience opportunities or meaningful mentoring and might otherwise struggle to get the support they need to succeed. At least 15 awards will be made this year.

Law Society president Lubna Shuja said: ‘I am immensely proud of our DAS awardees and all they’ve achieved.’

More information on how to apply is available here. Applications close on 16 April.
