Look into Law Transition Year Programme

Transition Year Programme | Combination of onsite and online learning | Open to 60 students, 1 per school 

Applications are open! They close on Thursday 1 October at 5pm.

All schools who apply will be invited to register one or two students to attend the online programme on Monday 8^th February 2027 (the online day). 

The Look into Law TY Programme is a blended offering with one day online and three days onsite for 60 students who are interested in learning about life as a barrister. The programme will run from Monday 8^th to Thursday 11^th February 2027. 

Again, this year the online day will be open to all schools that apply to attend. It will comprise live Zoom webinar sessions with barristers and include quizzes and further research ideas. The online day will take place Monday from 9.30am – 1pm. Then the programme moves to in person from Tuesday to Thursday for the lucky 60 students whose schools won a place in the lottery. The onsite (Distillery Building, Dublin 7) days consist of job shadowing, tours and mock trials

Only one application is allowed per school and only TY Coordinators (or Guidance Counsellors or Principal) can apply. The 60 schools selected in the lottery will nominate a student to take the place. If your school is unsuccessful in the lottery, you will receive an invitation to one or two students to register to attend the online day. As part of our commitment to increasing diversity at the Bar and fostering a membership that better reflects the society it serves, we reserve a minimum of 20% of the places for students from DEIS schools.
