Overview of the Experience
Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
4/5
Discussions with solicitors, independent legal work, group debates/discussions, presentations/information regarding careers in law as well as about the firm.
To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
4/5
I enjoyed it a lot. Personally would've enjoyed more independent work and less about CV's and interviews (that is still a long way away for many of us so it is less relevant), but still enjoyed it a lot
How well organised was your work experience?
5/5
Very organised, everything on time, everything clear on forage.
How much did your work experience help you in deciding on your future career path?
1/5
Whilst I was already pretty set on studying law, the independent work and talking to solicitors confirmed that I would want to practice law post-degree. Also are the stars not the wrong way round for this question, shouldn't 10 be the positive one?
Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
1/5
No - but no financial costs.
Skills Development
What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?
4/5
Statutory interpretation, understanding what a career in law entails

Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees?
4/5
Yes there were; lunch time networking sessions and messaging feature on forage
