  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • The day would typically start with myself and the other work experience students receiving advice and answering our questions on pursuing a career in law. Then we would go to our allocated teams and start our work for that specific day. The work usually was research on different cases or on legislation which I overall found to be extremely interesting. I also took part in a mock employment tribunal which was not only very interesting but also very fun.
