ASPIRING legal eagles are being invited to an open night providing information on starting in the profession.

The University of Teesside, Middlesbrough, is hosting the free event for anyone thinking of full or part-time law degrees.

Helen Howard, admissions tutor for law, said: "The evening will be very informal and open to anyone of any age with an interest in studying law. Formal qualifications are not always necessary, if potential students have relevant experience.

"Law is a dynamic, fast-moving subject which gives access to a range of careers, not only in the legal profession but also in industry, local government or education."

Lecturers will be available during the event, on January 16, from 6pm to 8pm, to deal with individual inquiries.
