Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to work within a case team and provide assistance on ongoing regulatory cases. I provided paralegal support to several cases which involved proofreading and checking documents, inputting data, organising information requirement responses, helping create chronologies, and creating spreadsheets to organise and input information.
I also carried out analysis tasks such as reviewing evidence and creating reports relevant to the case.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given limited responsibility at first but after a few weeks of proving myself I was given greater autonomy and responsibility. Towards the end of the internship I was given the responsibility of an associate rather than an intern.
