The Law Fair is an annual recruitment event for law students organised by the Careers Centre at Robert Gordon University.  It will provide you with information about law firms and  advice and guidance about the legal traineeship application process.

Come along to meet and talk directly to representatives from Scottish law firms, public sector and professional bodies. Find out what they are looking for in prospective trainees. Ask about legal work experience and traineeships and learn more about the recruitment process.

We encourage you to attend the fair regardless of the stage you are at in your education. It is an opportunity to learn about what to put in your  CV, build on your application for your traineeship and network with legal employers.
