About
Chambers Student Guide 2012
This site contains all the essential information you'll need as you embark upon a future in the law.
Use the search boxes to help you find what you're looking for. If you want a training contract, the pink box will lead you to our True Picture features on trainee life at more than 120 law firms. If the Bar is more your bag, the orange box has our Chambers Reports. Undecided? The green box will bring you to our Law Schools reviews on LPC and BPTC providers. Plus there's loads of info on vacation schemes, sponsorships, overseas opportunities and much more.
Chambers & Partners has been publishing the Student Guide for 15 years and we're proud that it has become a must-have reference for law students. We hope this website is helpful.
