Message: <blockquote data-quote="NickMcK" data-source="post: 44365" data-attributes="member: 3800">I was in a similar position and one thing that helped me demonstrate commitment to law was volunteering with one of the legal aid type organisations where you work directly with clients and in the courts. I did this with Support Through Court both in the London Central Family Court and RCJ, so a mix of family and general civil law. This was quite full on but I used annual leave to do it for about a year, roughly 1-2 days a month. Something similar or delivered remotely due to covid might be more manageable if time is an issue.This enabled me to show commitment to the profession rather than just enjoying legal-type work in my non-law job. It also gave me a lot of examples of legal work to use in interviews which open-days and mentoring schemes cannot provide.I also always think it's a good idea to have a chat with a careers advisor / recruiter to help frame your current experience in a way that TC recruiters recognise and appreciate. I was very surprised that the legal-type work I thought recruiters would be interested in was not as interesting to them as some of my non-law work, especially things such as business development and commercial experience.</blockquote>
