Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each day was very different!
For the first week we participated in a range of workshops, where we were taught lots of skills related to the legal industry. We also had CMS specific workshops where we learned about the firm.
For the second week we shadowed a trainee. I accompanied her to training, helped her with tasks and learned about what a trainee does day-to-day
