  The virtual internship involved completing tasks such as researching current proposed energy legislation, writing an email to a client, preparing a presentation on climate related disclosure deadlines, and reviewing a head of terms. The virtual internship was extremely valuable to me as it gave me a practical insight into the working world of law through tasks that I could be asked to do within a firm. The key skill I improved upon within the virtual internship was my research skills especially when considering proposed energy legislation to keep updated on current changes to legislation being considered.
