icebreaker session with my 2024/25 @BridgeTheBar pod this weekend. conversation card asked what era they would wish to live in. imagine how my heart stopped when one student said… the 90s. the 90s is an attractive historical era. i feel simultaneously vindicated & horrified.👵🏼


Today is our candidates’ first Pod Coaching workshop. The sessions are focused on goal-setting and building a strong CV. Let us know below your top tips for building a great CV! Many thanks to our headline academy sponsor @BPPGroup hosting us at their London campus!

Put your hands together - it's Bridging the Bar's 4th Birthday! We've come a long way since our journey began four years ago. In that time, we've helped hundreds of candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds develop the skills & confidence to know that law is where they belong.
