The SLSA’s mentoring scheme will return for the 2025-2026 academic year and we would love for you to be involved. This scheme forms part of delivering our EDI strategy to widen participation in the SLSA and the socio-legal community, including by members employed on precarious contracts.  

The aim of the scheme is to provide opportunities for members to create connections with other researchers, foster a sense of community, and create channels for knowledge transfer between more established socio-legal scholars and those in earlier stages of their careers or those wishing to return following career breaks.

The scheme will offer 10 places to mentees. The scheme will kick-off with a plenary session in October 2025, and mentoring pairs will meet at least twice more remotely with the possibility of meeting in person at the SLSA Conference in March/April 2026 at The University of Sussex. In addition, two additional remote plenary sessions will be arranged with a focus on publishing, and funding/impact.

The purpose of the scheme is to provide support for those who may face structural disadvantage in their academic careers in line with our EDI and anti-precarity commitments. Applications will be reviewed by the EDI Committee with this in mind. 

Prospective mentees are asked to send a completed application form along with a two-page CV to admin@slsa.ac.uk by 31 July 2025 to be considered for the scheme.

As we move into the fourth year of this successful scheme, COMBAR is delighted to announce that its mentoring scheme for applicants from groups who are under-represented at the Bar (and the Commercial Bar in particular) is now open for applications for the 2025 – 2026 cycle.  The scheme is an important part of COMBAR’s commitment to improving access and diversity in the legal profession.  More than 650 mentees have benefited from the scheme to date.

The scheme pairs successful eligible candidates with practitioners from COMBAR member sets for a series of one-to-one mentoring sessions.  Mentees and their mentors are also invited to a pupillage interview and application workshop and social event, which is planned for 20 January 2026.  An equivalent event for this year’s scheme was held in January 2025 at Gray’s Inn, with about 175 mentees attending in person and remotely, and a keynote introductory speech by Mr Justice Henshaw, the Judge in Charge of the Commercial Court.
