The Black Law Network supports Black students aged 16+ who are interested in pursuing a career in law.
At this time, applications to join BLN are closed.
Applications will reopen Summer 2026 for the October 2026/27 intake.
📌 Who The Black Law Network is for
This pathway is designed for students who:
-
Are currently in Sixth Form or about to enter Sixth Form
-
Are based in the United Kingdom
-
Are seriously interested in pursuing law as a future career
-
Are willing to actively engage in BLN programmes and events
BLN is a commitment-based network. Membership is not passive.
🔒 Why applications are closed
Since September, the BLN leadership team has been working to ensure the network remains:
-
Supportive
-
Impactful
-
Well-resourced
To do this, we have made the decision to be intentional about who joins BLN.
This allows us to deliver meaningful opportunities, tailored support, and strong representation for members who are ready to show up.
