What are you enjoying the most about your project?
Being able to learn more about the development of artificial intelligence which is being utilised by law firms and new emerging roles within the legal industry, such as legal operations.
What practical skills are you learning from your clinical experience?
I was able to improve my legal research and written skills during this experience. I also developed my collaboration skills, by working with others and setting each other deadlines which were appropriate and reasonable.
What is the most rewarding part of being a part of the Business Law Clinic?
The most rewarding part of being a part of the Business Law Clinic, is being able to have full responsibility of the research you conduct and having an input in how the newsletter should be completed. Being able to have a full say in everything which is done, whilst working within a team was beneficial for both my communication skills as well as collaboration.
How do you think the Business Law Clinic will help your professional and/or educational development?
The experience improved my commercial awareness around how technology is impacting the legal industry, where I was able to use examples I had written about in applications and interviews for graduate roles.
What is one reason you would recommend the Business Law Clinic?
I would recommend the Business Law Clinic, to develop your legal research and organisation skills. The clinic helped me to be commercially aware and be able to put my research into the practical skill of newsletter writing. The clinic also helped my organisation skills, as I learnt how to balance my deadlines and working part time alongside this.
