The Times’ legal reporter, Edward Fennell, wrote an article “Legal Education Foundation starts to make an impact” on 27 February 2015. His article focusses on the Foundation’s Justice First Fellowship scheme which aims to address the social welfare lawyer training contract shortage by funding eight Fellows for a fully-paid, two-year training contract with various social welfare host organisations around the UK. The article mentions that LEF hopes commercial law firms will buddy up with clients to sponsor more Fellows which will, over time, improve citizens’ access to, and understanding of, the law.
