5 Minute Presentation - Assessment Centre

[Splarah]

Hi all,

I have an assessment centre for a regional law firm coming up and we have been asked to:
"Prepare a 5-minute presentation on any subject of your choice – no slides or visuals to be used"

So, am I being an idiot if I don't pick something law-related to discuss?
And if so, what on earth can I cover in 5 minutes? It is such a short amount of time to get into anything effectively.

Some of my ideas so far are:

• Cyber Crime - a VERY brief look at the top three legal threats of the future (this firm doesn't specialise in tech law, but I have a personal interest)
• Metaverse - An intro to what it is and again, maybe look at what the top three legal issues might be associated with it

Any ideas welcome, and if anyone has done one of these before and didn't pick a legal topic - some insight into how it went would be awesome

I don't think it needs to be law related. Usually, this is an opportunity to show an ability to present a topic you can be enthusiastic and knowledgeable about.

I am pretty sure they are not looking for you to discuss legal issues/legal threats but instead talk about the topic.

If they wanted it to be a legal presentation, they would have said so.
