Family law: Life, litigation and real-world client work
What is it really like to practise family law? In this session, the BPP team will interview a panel of practising family lawyers to explore the realities of working in this challenging and deeply human area of practice. The discussion will cover the nature of the work, the skills required to succeed and the personal qualities that are particularly important when advising clients through significant life events. Students will gain a clearer understanding of the day-to-day experience of family lawyers and the routes into this rewarding specialism.

Sharpe Pritchard Application Process
Discover the intricacies of the Sharpe Pritchard application process.
Stage one - Application form review
Applications are initially reviewed against objective criteria by HR and Partners.
Stage 2 – Watson Glaser Test
Long-listed candidates are required to complete a Watson Glaser Test.
The Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal assesses the individual’s capability for critical thinking – a discrete skill distinct from, but not independent of, overall intelligence. It is available online and contains 40 items drawn from an item banked and candidates have a maximum of 30 minutes to complete the test.
Stage 3 – Interview and written test
Short-listed candidates (approximately 10 candidates) are selected for an interview. Selection is based on the Watson Glaser result and an assessment of the information contained in the application form.
Interviews will be held in May. Two or three partners carry out the interview and there is a short written test.
