Excellence Talk: A career in law by Judge Tanweer Ikram CBE

We welcomed Judge Tanweer Ikram CBE this term for a talk on careers in law. Speaking about his experiences as a judge, including the challenges he has faced as well as the opportunities, what he had to say was fascinating and sparked some thoughtful questions from our audience

Tanweer left pupils with some helpful advice on the importance of hard work and its role both in overcoming failure and in achieving success. His parting words – ‘I have made some wrong career choices in my life, but you need to embrace any failures and convert them into a positive and grow’ – were also great advice, leaving our pupils with plenty to think about. n
