In July 2020, the InterLaw Diversity Forum held our first-ever Student Lab Summer Internship, a one-week event to support high-potential, diverse students, recent graduates, paralegals and trainees from all UK universities and backgrounds on their career journey by connecting them with their peers, law firms, barristers’ chambers, and corporate institutions through lectures, panel events, and interactive skills-based workshops. 

​

The Student Lab Summer internship was open to applicants from all diverse (LGBT+, BAME, Disability, Gender) or socially disadvantaged backgrounds.

​

The Student Lab Summer Internship was exclusively sponsored by BPP University Law School.
