The law student’s journey

Law students are not considered the quickest off the mark when it comes to getting involved in applications and internships early on in their degree. If you are thinking about the bar then the more mini-pupillages you have under your belt when you fill in your application form at the beginning of your final year the better. Do not forget that there are other options too. Charity work, the civil service, interning for a while until you decide on a career path (if you can afford it) or further study are all worthwhile alternatives.

It is also worth thinking about going to a local or regional firm or chambers if that appeals to you, and for this you may have to send letters asking to go and shadow someone rather than apply to an organized scheme.
