Opening the Door: Encouraging Masters in Immigration & Asylum Law
Many starting out at the Bar have a keen interest in immigration and asylum law but struggle to find someone to be their Master in first year. This CPD will feature a panel of colleagues in the immigration and asylum area who have experience taking first year devils. They will share their learnings and hope to encourage others to take the plunge.
At the end of the presentation, participants will understand the pros and cons of being a first year Master and hopefully some will feel inspired to take a first year Devil in years to come!
