Testimonials

  • “The children loved it. It was great for them to do something a little different from their usual lessons… I also liked how the children were given a current issue to discuss. It not only resonated with them but also made them feel like they were discussing something important. Would definitely do it again.”

  • "I really want to do this again because it really helped my confidence"

  • "Amber was just full of it after her L4L session!! She really loved it! She told me all about the process of the court, the detail of the trial and her role and responsibilities. Thank you - one inspired 10 year old!"

  • "It was amazing! I feel more confident speaking publicly in front of my class mates and teachers. I really enjoyed the mock trial, please come back again."

  • I would like to extend my thanks to the Lawyers4Learners representatives. Clearly our children got a lot out of the sessions. It was a delight to see them grow in confidence before our eyes and fantastic to see how impassioned they became! As Governors we were thrilled at how impactful this was for them all. It was great opportunity to gain an insight into the legal profession, but we felt that the skills that the children had to engage made it so much more than this. An important initiative that raises and broadens the aspirations of the children involved.

  • "Volunteering with Lawyers for Learners has been a genuinely inspiring experience. Through mock trials and public speaking exercises, children are given the space to think, speak up and grow in confidence. What is remarkable is how quickly that growth happens. In a very short time, you see hesitant voices become stronger, ideas become clearer, and children become fully engaged. It is a powerful reminder that young people do not just need opportunities - they rise to them."
