Using AI without losing your voice

AI can be a powerful tool when used well, but the strongest applications are still driven by genuine insight, personal reflection and authentic motivation. In this session, we'll explore how students can use AI responsibly throughout the application process, from researching law firms and developing commercial awareness to preparing for interviews and refining written applications. Our panellists will discuss where AI adds real value, the common mistakes candidates make when relying on it, and the skills that will continue to set successful applicants apart as legal recruitment evolves.AI can be a powerful tool when used well, but the strongest applications are still driven by genuine insight, personal reflection and authentic motivation.
