The College of Legal Practice
Legal training is stuck in the past. A one-size-fits-all approach to teaching simply doesn’t work. Why? Because everyone is different.
We’re changing the status quo. Designing legal courses around you. Your organisation needs, your personal circumstances, your unique aspirations. We’re helping a more diverse group of individuals access and progress in the legal profession.
Our supervisors are not just passionate about education, they’re also experienced legal practitioners. And they’re just a click away, ready to guide you with one-to-one personal supervision using our flexible online platform.
We’re also more cost-efficient with an ownership model that drives profit back into education. Not investor pockets.
Whether you’re a student looking to take your skills to the next level, or a legal firm searching for training that aligns with your practice, we can provide a tailored solution.
We’re proud to be different. Proud to be driving change.
Welcome to a new era in legal education. Designed for you.

WALKER MORRIS
Research shows the growth of Leeds’ legal sector to have outpaced London, Manchester and Birmingham in recent years, recalling the city’s glory days in the pre-financial crisis era. For one of Leeds’ biggest firms, Walker Morris, the continued expansion of the local market has coincided with the implementation of a strategy that has seen it move almost entirely away from commoditised areas such as personal injury towards high-level corporate and commercial work.
A sleek office, which Walker Morris moved into in the summer of 2019, ties in with this strategy. The “delightful” building, found at the heart of Leeds’ business district and “probably the best” in the city, includes “beautiful” communal spaces, swish meeting pods, an in-house Ts&Cs café, and a scenic outside courtyard area — making it a huge improvement on the firm’s “slightly tired” former gaffe.
