Hi Veronica! Do you know whether you want to be a solicitor or barrister and what areas of the law you might be interested in? Depending on your more specific interests, there are different routs you can take to enter the profession and there are different ways to gain work experience to see if you actually want to pursue this path. The TCLA forums are focused mainly on commercial law and that's what I'm also best placed to discuss, but if you have questions about other areas of the law there's a good chance you'll still find people who can answer your queries.
