Have you ever been curious about a career in Law or as a Patent Attorney?
While the University of Bath does not have a Law degree, we often have Law and Patent Attorney firms and providers of the Law conversion courses on campus. In partnership with the University's Student Law Society, we are excited to announce we will be hosting another virtual Law Fair on this Autumn term. This is an opportunity for any students of any year and discipline to meet employers and training providers to find out about careers in Law or Patent Attorney and related opportunities and insights.

To get the most out of the Fair, make sure you are well prepared, by thinking about what you want to ask. Consider some of the following suggestions:
Read the information provided on the platform as well as each employers appointments listings, look at their website and Careers section.
