[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 6835, member: 1"] Legal work experience is good if you have it. You can use it to demonstrate your interest in a career in law. You could also mention extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility, or hobbies and interests, depending on the question. Although, firms will appreciate that some of these are difficult to get if you've just started uni. Firms want to see many of the same things as in a vacation scheme application: Do you have a genuine interest in finding more about commercial law? Have you researched the firm you are applying to? What are you like as an individual? On this last point, firms may focus on different competencies, such as whether you have good interpersonal skills, are driven and motivated, work well in a team etc. This is what you can demonstrate by talking about any past activities/experiences/achievements.
