The Faculty annually hosts the Sutton Trust summer school for approximately twenty five sixth-form students from around the country.  The Sutton Trust aims to improve educational opportunities for young people from non-privileged backgrounds and increase social mobility.

The one week taster course consists not only of seminars and tutorials, but also a varied programme of social activities, to give participants an accurate idea of life as an undergraduate at the Faculty. Students are taught about a wide variety of legal topics, including criminal law, tort, contract and international law.  The week culminates in a mock trial featuring the 'death' of a student at the Cambridge Faculty of Law, with students playing all the major roles, including solicitors, barristers, witnesses and the defendant.

Information about the 2011 scheme can be found in the news article.  For more information about the scheme see the booklet, and refer to the Trust's website.  There is also more information at the University's website, and you can apply online.
