Chester Law School maintains strong links with local legal professionals and the wider community to enhance our degree and ensure you make the most out of your time at university. Guest lecturers, co-curricular outreach and pro bono (free legal advice) opportunities can enhance your skillset and transform you into a Law graduate who stands out from the crowd.
