Eversheds heads effort to increase diversity

If law firms keep looking for students who have done well at school from the age of 5, they will not end up with much diversity. It is after all only a certain type of person who was that focused on their career as a child! Also, a girl from a minority ethnic community might not have received any encouragement at all, when she was a child, to pursue a career. Accordingly, she may not have excelled at school. That does not mean she would not make a great lawyer - on the contrary.
