Review category: Law

I really liked the law work experience. My favourite part was the day when we went and looked at the Royal Courts of Justice. I found that really interesting. And we went into a barrister’s chambers and I really liked that. I felt that they were really engaging. I knew I wanted to take law at university but this week it’s definitely expanded my knowledge of law so I think I definitely want to pursue it now even more than I did before.

The law work experience was very informative. You got to talk to a wide range of different types of lawyers, barristers, solicitors and people that practise in court and actually go to court and meet people that do the work behind the scenes or that work in a large corporation.

The part I enjoyed the most was the corporate lawyer. It was very interesting when she talked all about her life and how her career path went and the things she would have done differently. This course made me realise that there’s, like in every other profession, there’s very many ways to get to a certain point and not just the one rule.

I found the law work experience interesting, especially the part when we got to visit chambers and a high street firm, like a solicitor’s firm, because I think that gave me a more of a feel of how different these environments are. I think my favourite part were the lectures, one of them was on Corporate Law and the other one was on Environmental Law.  I gained some insight that are quite hard to come across in general and it opened the world of Corporate and Environmental Law a little bit more to me.

The law work experience was really fun. We went to the Royal Court of Justice, and we had a tour there. I think that was really exciting to learn about London’s history and the history of law, and we also went to the Old Bailey. We’ve also visited solicitor’s office and chambers. So I’ve got to meet new people who are interested in the same things as me, as well as building connections with people that can also help me in the future. I’m really enjoying my experience so far.

It was very interesting and there were different varieties of law. So it wasn’t just necessarily like civil, it was also like environmental, which I didn’t quite know about it at the beginning of the week, but now I know loads more about it. My favourite part was the environmental law. All the tutors were very nice and if you had any questions, they were happy to answer them.
