Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were set a range of assessed task, which included submitting written work (one task per week). Additionally, we participated in various pre-planned sessions, particularly including practice area introductions. When I had free time, I also completed real work set by my supervisor or trainee buddy. Lastly, I arranged many coffee chats with many people in the firm to get a broader insight.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was a good feeling, as I now feel prepared to enter the legal industry.
