[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 123623, member: 2672"] Ultimately the more the better really, although longevity in roles will be valued more than doing lots of short term roles unless they are internships or seasonal roles. You ultimately want to show you have kept yourself busy and have not shied away from work. All your international experiences are as relevant as opportunities in the U.K. Personally I would suggest including both non-law and law work experience for these reasons. Only time it becomes an issue of choosing is when you are limited to a number of work experience entries. In these instances, choose a mixture of roles that show pursuit of a legal career, those that have had the most levels of responsibility (especially over a significant period of time), the ones that pushed you and developed your skill set the most.
