Real Lawyers. Real Cases. Real Life.

The Macmillan School of Practising Lawyers (TMS) mentors law students and graduates as they transition from their formal legal studies to the day-to-day realities of a practising lawyer.

​

Traditional law schools teach students legal theory and how to interpret and apply court cases and legislation. But they don't provide first-hand accounts of the practical tasks and challenges that lawyers face on a daily basis.

​

Nor can they provide personal guidance on the bigger life and career decisions that all legal professionals inevitably encounter.

​

Through internships, networking events, seminars and workshops, TMS fills this gap in the practical legal education and career development of pre- and early-career lawyers.

​

We also enable experienced practitioners to "give back" to the next generation of legal professionals, giving them a platform where they can share their stories and advice on a wide range of professional and life issues.
