Help us promote CILExPeople round table

CILEx members are excellent. We know that, you know that, but the media often ask us why. You could help us show them.

When approached by a journalist we're asked if we have anyone who could give us the reality of what it means to learn law through a vocational route. The media do not want to hear from an officer sitting in head office. Instead they want to speak to someone who has experienced CILEx as a student, has studied the long hours, has juggled life and essays, has bucked the trend and got legal qualifications without going to university, has shown everyone how passionate, commited and professional they are.

Whatever your reason for joining CILEx or taking the vocational route into law, it doesn't matter. All our members have fantastic stories to tell. But perhaps you are one of our many members who has:

  • Decided university is not for them, regardless of exam grades you didn't want to attend university and decided vocational training was right for you.
  • Maybe you've decided to change your career, much to the shock and then delight of those close to you.
  • Perhaps you've raised a family and then decided to go back to work, with law being something you've always wanted to study.
  • Or you had a life changing experience that led you to realising law is something you really wanted to be a part of.

Being a CILEx case study does not take much time at all, just fill in this very simple form (PDF 670kb) email it to media@cilex.org.uk. Once received we keep your details on a secure file until such time as a journalist calls with a story we think you might be suitable for. Before we pass on your details, we contact you to make sure you are still happy to be a case study and then work out the most convenient way for the journalist to speak with you.

If you'd like to speak to us about being a case study first then please give us a call on +44(0)1234 845710 or email media@cilex.org.uk
