    Hi all, hope you're all well!

    I'm a philosophy undergraduate student about to enter my final year, and I'd love to hear any advice from other non-law students on where you found relevant law experience please? I'll be applying for VS' and TC's throughout my final year, and I plan on doing a law conversion masters once I graduate next summer, but it'd be great to have something relevant to do this summer! Are virtual work experiences my only option considering I currently have no legal training? Or are there other avenues I could look into?

    Thank you for any and all advice! :-)

    Hi,
    Something that I did before obtaining any legal training was reach out to local high-street firms and volunteer to help out. One firm got back to me and trained me up a bit on real estate law and let me pop into the office a couple of times a week for a few months to gain some legal experience which was really helpful. Perhaps you could reach out to any high-street firms local to you and see if there are any opportunities to help out there for the summer? Just one idea. :)
