[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 89572, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=17387]@gallof[/USER], Thank you for the question! Just to add to what [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] has said already, when I have reached out to people already in the industry, the resounding answer to this question has been, as far as possible, to try a variety of practice areas when training. I think not only can it reaffirm your intuition (about liking a particular sector), but having a broad experience can be surprising. I have spoken to a number of people who went to a firm expecting to do litigation/contentious work who subsequently realised that they prefer corporate/transactional work. I have also been told that studying the law and practicing it are often very different things, so I am personally trying to go in with an open mind. I am not a qualified lawyer and so I really am relaying what I have been advised when I have spoken to people. But this really has been a consistent theme during my conversations! I hope that helps :) [/QUOTE]
