The Role
Gave a great insight into the court system
Was given praise throughout all steps
Was shadowing a member of staff at all times, thus was given great support constantly
Quite busy though was not overwhelmed
Was given responsibility in court admin systems to carry out tasks alone
Great skills to gain though I did not pursue a law degree afterwards, I changed paths to study Economics
The Company
Friendly though professional and busy
Great to start with, with great plans for each day - though the involvement tapered off near the end of the placement
Not much as it was only a school work experience attended 1 day per week
Unsure as did not explore this
The Culture
Unsure as wasn’t involved due to short time there and 1 day per week attendance
Live at parents house so no cost to me
Did not attend
Unsure as didn’t explore this
