I had a great time and it was so nice to do something non-academic and it also really gave me some time to think about what I wanted in the future, so from a personal perspective, I really couldn't recommend it highly enough. Even though it was completely unrelated to law, it has been an interesting talking point in both applications and interviews, and improved skills like cultural awareness and resilience, both of which are important if you want to work in an international law firm. I don't think it has been perceived negatively by law firms at all (and in fact in one interview, a partner had also lived in the same city and it immediately got the interview off to a good start). If anything, it will help differentiate your application which can only be a good thing when considering how competitive law is!</blockquote>
