Now in its 10th year, the programme welcomed 96 students from 96 schools encompassing 24 DEIS schools spanning across 21 counties in Ireland.
Since 2015, the programme has continuously evolved to accommodate students from across the country and aims to offer transition year students a thorough understanding of the legal system, court proceedings, and the responsibilities of barristers.
