Huge congrats!
In the proofreading section, you may be required to identify and correct errors in grammar, spelling, and formatting while ensuring the document maintains a professional and consistent tone. Pay close attention to details such as inconsistent headings, punctuation, or ambiguous phrasing, and ensure any legal terminology is accurate and appropriate for the context.
If the exercise includes a shortlisting task, focus on identifying the most relevant information based on the needs of the recipient, such as a senior solicitor or a client. Prioritise the key points logically (e.g., urgent matters first) and filter out any unnecessary or redundant details. Your approach should demonstrate sound judgment, clear reasoning, and an understanding of the potential business or legal implications of the information provided.
To prepare, practice proofreading legal or business documents under timed conditions, focusing on both technical errors and style consistency. Approach the exercise calmly and systematically, double-checking your work to ensure accuracy and professionalism.
Good luck!
