Top UK law firms unite to launch social mobility scheme

Comment

Do they still wish to provide a 'work experience scheme aimed at A-level students and ways to encourage young people from non-traditional backgrounds to consider support roles ­within law firms.' as reported in http://www.thelawyer.com/magic-circle-moots-joint-social-mobility-strategy/1007521.article ? If so, have they in the meantime defined what 'non-traditional is? Do you have to be poor or non-British? Or do you have to be poor *and* non-British? Why are they only allowed to consider support roles? Does non-traditional mean 'cannot become a lawyer'? And, by the way, what is considered to be a 'traditional' background? Are they expected to consider support roles too? Who came up with this wannabe PC 'non-traditional' hogwash in the first place?
