Solicitors Who Care About Access to the Profession

If you are a solicitor who is passionate about access to the legal profession, we invite you to consider joining our team. Your experience and insight are invaluable to our students, who are preparing to navigate the complexities of the legal landscape.

Non-Practising Lawyers with a Passion for Teaching

Have you moved away from practising law but still have a deep connection to the profession? If so, your expertise can play a crucial role in shaping the education of aspiring solicitors. At Freedom Law Clinic, we believe that teaching is not just about conveying information; it’s about inspiring and empowering students. If you have what it takes to engage students in meaningful learning experiences, we would love to have you on board.

Educators from Outside the Law with Course Design Expertise

We are also seeking passionate educators from diverse backgrounds who have a proven track record in course design. Legal education is evolving, and we are committed to staying at the forefront of this transformation by offering innovative and effective courses. If you have experience in designing courses that are engaging, practical, and impactful, your skills could be exactly what we need to expand our offerings and reach a broader audience.

Our Unique Approach to Legal Education

At Freedom Law Clinic, we offer a subscription-based learning model tailored to students preparing for the SQE1 and SQE2 exams. This approach allows our students to access high-quality legal education on a flexible schedule that suits their individual needs.
