Work Experience

• Nov 2016 - Nov 2016

After attending open days at universities I developed an interest in studying law and decided I wanted to complete work experience in the field to determine whether I should study law at university. Completing work experience sessions at Corrigall Black enabled me to see what the daily duties are for a small law firm. I found this to be extremely insightful, especially as it was prior to my law degree and they gave me advise for the following years.
