[QUOTE="Daniel Boden, post: 33267, member: 487"] Hey Lydia, I'd imagine these schemes have come because the person is fortunate to have a connection at the firm who was able to facilitate some informal work experience. Sadly, this is what can be an unfair advantage for some candidates because they are able to get impressive experience purely based on who they know which is much tougher on those candidates who don't come from a background where corporate jobs are commonplace. A friend of mine from such a background was able to source legal work experience by emailing a partner who worked on a case she found interesting so if in your research you find a case or matter particularly interesting, a cold email can work out very well! All the best, Dan [/QUOTE]
