[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 1727, member: 1"] I was in a similar position during university. I spent most of my three years interested in a different career, so when I decided on commercial law, I had to play a lot of catch-up. I suggest the following to start: [LIST] [*]Find law firms you are interested in and attend as many law firm events/open days as you can (you will develop your awareness of what lawyers do in different practice areas). [*]You don't have to read the FT, especially if you are beginner and find it confusing. Find a source that you like for your business news and get into a routine of reading it daily. I used to like the BBC News app. Finimize is also good. [*]When you are more comfortable with business topics, consider adding the FT into your daily routine. [*]Consider signing up to The Economist (make use of the 12 issues for £12). This will help you to develop your broader commercial awareness and form an opinion on world events. [/LIST] The general aim is to try to find a couple of news stories that you are interested in and watch the news unfold over a period of weeks/months. By following the news daily, you will also begin to understand and form an opinion on key business topics. [/QUOTE]
