PRIME Review

Listening to talks from guest speakers, working within teams to solve problems, practising pitching

Yes, a better knowledge of legal processes, career paths, and general workplace etiquette.

The programme was really enjoyable. It’s important to note it also didn’t feel exclusive - I had no knowledge of the legal field as nobody in my family had even gone to university. I was able to get stuck in like everyone else

It was clearly organised and the group work was always good. The final day there was an outside treasure hunt (I think) and that was a nice way to end things.

Though there was no direct mentorship from the program officers, we were connected with trainees who were so excited to share their experiences with us. They all connected with us, and we had practise interviews with them.

There were social activities planned, and people socialised at lunchtimes and after work

Yes

Has a very clear standard of work ethic, and is very welcoming to anyone who expresses a desire to work in that way

Don’t be afraid that you don’t know anything about law - position it as a learning curve for you. You might know you are good at problem solving and managing clients, so put your best foot forward!
