AS Campus Ambassador Overview

Campus Ambassadors are integral to Aspiring Solicitors’ continued success and, consequently, our ability to increase diversity in the legal profession.

Becoming a Campus Ambassador allows you to help individuals from diverse backgrounds discover Aspiring Solicitors and become AS Members to further access our guidance and opportunities.

The Campus Ambassador role is a voluntary, unpaid role that runs from September 2024 to January 2025.

If your application is successful, you will be invited to an induction day provided by AS, in either London or Manchester (whichever is most preferable to you). Here you will be given your CA toolkit and guidance on how to make the most from the Campus Ambassador opportunity.

Being a Campus Ambassador at Aspiring Solicitors provided me with opportunities to develop various transferable skills that law firms are looking for. The role is dynamic – throughout the year I organised events, promoted Aspiring Solicitors at the freshers’ fair and liaised with presidents of law societies. Overall, I have built a lot of confidence through the role and would strongly recommend any aspiring solicitors to apply.

Being a Campus Ambassador for AS is without doubt a mutually beneficial experience. Not only did the role allow me to help as many as possible to get involved with all AS has to offer, but provided a unique opportunity to coordinate with and benefit from the knowledge of those who have a first-hand insight into the legal profession. The range of skills you learn and develop over the course of the year can only serve to make you a more attractive candidate to employers.

Being a member of Aspiring Solicitors enables access to events at top law firms, which offer guidance about how to demonstrate the skills that firms look for in applications. Being a Campus Ambassador enables you to organise events at your university, which offers you the opportunity to demonstrate these skills that firms look for in applications. As an Aspiring Solicitors member, I attended my first event at Norton Rose Fulbright. As a Campus Ambassador I developed skills including advising on logistics and liaising with speakers, which my future employer Norton Rose Fulbright, regards as an invaluable experience.
