[QUOTE="M777, post: 86339, member: 2524"] Definitely wouldn't pay if I were you. It's easy to build up work experience without paying a penny. If you're after any sort of work experience, cold-calling local law firms is a great start. You can also confidently apply for vac schemes without work experience, especially if you draw out transferable skills from your extra-curricular activities. Paralegal positions aren't out of the question either, particularly if you can draw on interesting extra-curricular experiences and have a solid academic background. I'm paralegalling for a great international commercial firm right now, and I did so a) without paying a penny and b) having no legal work experience at all. The key is not to undersell yourself and to draw out your qualities from your extracurricular experiences. The fact the agency are asking for pay seems sketchy at best, and exploitative at worst.
