Anyone thinking of attending is encouraged to attend a preparatory talk in the preceding week from 6pm to 8pm on Monday 28 October in Eliot Lecture Theatre. At the preparatory talk, students will be given advice on how to maximise the opportunity to network and explore career options.<\/p>\n<p>Law Fair Organiser Yoginni Gopal said: \u2018I am very excited about the Law Fair because we have many amazing firms attending. This is such a great chance to network and get your name out there! Remember, this will be useful when applying for vacation schemes and training contracts. But that\u2019s not all, there will also be education providers who can help you in deciding on your preferred route, whether that be applying for the BPTC, LPC or GDL. They can also help you with the SQE if you have questions.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Other organisations manning a stand at this year\u2019s event include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspiringsolicitors.co.uk\/\">Aspiring Solicitors<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbri-international.com\/\">BARBRI International<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bpp.com\/courses\/law\">BPP Law School<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chambersstudent.co.uk\/\">Chambers Student\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.city.ac.uk\/about\/schools\/law\">City Law School<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/employabilitypoints\/\">Employability Points (Kent)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icsa.org.uk\/\">ICSA (The Chartered Governance Institute)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kentlawsociety.com\/index.html\">Kent Law Society<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kentstudentlawsociety\/\">Kent Student Law Society<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawcareers.net\/\">LawCareers.Net<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ltckent.co.uk\/\">Law Training Centre<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/targetjobs.co.uk\/\">TARGET Jobs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.ac.uk\/\">University of Law<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Follow\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kentstudentlawsociety\/\">KSLS\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0for Law Fair news and updates.<\/p>\n<p>KSLS is one of five student law societies at Kent Law School.
