[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 92652, member: 2672"] Yes - to me that is work experience, although given it is only two days I wouldn’t prioritise this over a longer term job (if you were limited to the number of work experience placements or didn’t have enough space on your application), even if it was a part time job in something like retail or hospitality. It will show you are interested in a career in law and pursued opportunities to learn more but it’s unlikely to demonstrate much of your skill set in all honesty. As for a collective title it really depends how you are demonstrating it and what is in there. I have known people include other activities such as conferences or mentoring programmes in such sections too. I wouldn’t use something as broad as “misc experiences” - think about what theme you are you trying to achieve by bringing them together in one entry. It’s probably not appropriate to put everything in there - so what theme is there going to be to collectively put them together and then use a heading that is appropriate to that theme. Any singular or combination of the following phrases I often see though: - Insight programmes - Career opportunities - Open days - Legal events [/QUOTE]
