“The law affects us on a daily basis in so many ways. The legal system often feels like a foreign world and to be able to gain an insight into this world whilst still in school would be beneficial for everyone. I would have personally loved to have gained an insight into the practical legal subjects Leducate teaches whilst I was still in school and for that reason, I strongly believe in the work that Leducate does. “
