Think you must have legal experience? Think again.

Great future lawyers don't all follow the same path, and legal work experience is only one way to demonstrate your potential. In this session, we'll explore what recruiters are really looking for, how to make the most of the experiences you already have, and why part-time jobs, volunteering, student societies and other commitments can be just as valuable as legal placements. Our panellists will share practical advice on building transferable skills, reflecting on your experiences effectively, and finding meaningful opportunities that will strengthen your applications and help you stand out throughout the recruitment process.
