Solicitors of the Future – Transition Year Programme 2021

Solicitors of the Future is an innovative Transition Year (TY) work experience programme offered at the Law Society of Ireland which provides students with an introduction to the solicitor’s profession. Open to schools around the country and facilitated by Law Society staff, trainee solicitors, and expert practitioners, the activity-based programme features a visit to the Criminal Courts of Justice, a tour of a large commercial firm, expert-led workshops, guest speakers, courtroom activities, a careers seminar and a mock trial.

Places on the programme are limited and are allocated to schools through a lottery system. Selection of the student to attend the programme is at the school's discretion and the Law Society of Ireland has no role in this process. Successful schools are allocated a place for one student only. The School chooses 1 Student only from Transition Year.

Any student interested in this programme email the Transition Year Programme Co-ordinator , eileenharte@sacredheartclonakilty outlining your interest in this Programme.
