Lots of firms and key marketing suppliers run them, so do keep an eye out for them.Alternatively, you may want to consider doing 1-2 Forage virtual work experience programmes to give you more of a feel for the type of work and responsibilities lawyers have.I’d also consider using LinkedIn and following law firms - it can be useful seeing the types of news stories/developments law firms put out and this can help your general commercial awareness too.You can definitely talk about your experiences, even if they are from childhood, and I don’t think it’s an issue for the type of questions you have mentioned. Just ensure there is some balance and that other questions show more recent experiences and achievements so it is a reflection of who you are now, not just one key factor that has brought you to where you are now.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Many thanksJess</blockquote>
