  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Throughout the week I took up roles in different departments, which I found very helpful as it gave me an insight as to which type of law I would like to study. This also helped me understand the job a lot more, as it gave me an idea of the type of work I would be doing.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The structure of the programme was very simple, which is why it worked so well. I liked that we had a full day to experience a section of law, rather than move around after a short hour. It really helped me better understand where I would take my law career, if I choose to peruse one.
