[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 26848, member: 1160"] 1. I am afraid I am not entirely certain what the best suggestion might be here. Linklaters do a virtual internship now which is great and would make a great addition to your CV. I suppose I would probably advise you reach out to the respective grad rec teams to ask them what their best advice might honestly be on this or [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] may have some insight into this for you too. 2. I just read the FT and the Economist daily and use all the resources we have on here as the major sources of my commercial awareness (also I love reading the weekly news topics our commercial writers do for us - they are incredible). I am also lucky to work alongside some really bright and business-minded people so always try to join in with discussions and ask them questions. If you are at uni, debating probably offers a similar outlet. To be honest, you would be best looking forwards and trying to build on current affairs now as opposed to backdated issues. If you have an AC very soon though, try to pick a couple of current stories and try to look at what the root cause of the issue was, and get a sense for the timeline of events and what it could mean for other businesses and law firms. But really, it is best to just get into the habit of consuming ten mins or so worth of news a day so you can keep up with the trends and spot inter-related problems too. [/QUOTE]
