[QUOTE="sunflower269, post: 86068, member: 15544"] Hi everyone, It's my first year applying, and the firm I've gotten through to the assessment process with - so no prior experience to go on here. The first two assessments involve one proofreading exercise (which takes 30 minutes, timed), and one drafting exercise (one hour, timed). I have never done any paralegal work before, so I am quite daunted as to what to expect. What exactly does proof reading a legal document involve? Just spelling errors and ambiguity? Or big omissions, such as a key legal issue which isn't included? I worry that the latter will be a problem if the document involves an area of law I know nothing about, as I've never studied it (e.g. M&A, company law...). There's only so much research you can do in 30 minutes! If anyone has completed a similar exercise at an MC/international firm - any thoughts? Thank you in advance [/QUOTE]
