It involved going to different online presentations giving an insight to different areas of law and explains the day to day life of someone working in a commercial law firm.
Communication skills over Microsoft Teams. Also, the ability to form an argument for a side that you may not necessarily agree with.
I enjoyed it quite a bit as it gave me a good insight into different areas of law you could work within. I also enjoyed the many opportunities to ask questions.
Relatively well organised. There was some technical difficulties but it was the first time it was delivered online and there were fixed throughout the work experience. Also we received a schedule a week in advance which was good.
I learned a lot especially through the presentations of many different employees.
It helped me a bit as I'm still unsure what I want to do after University but I was already set on studying law prior to the work experience.
No.
Yes we got to ask questions to many employees from the firm. We also got to talk to the other participants over a lunch time meeting if we wished to do so.
Yes
They were really helpful to everyone and provided a great insight into different areas of law that I had not explored a lot before.
Give real life examples of how you have used the skills you are saying you have. Also, research the firm a bit before so you can explain why you want a work experience then.
