These are two of the main tools you'll likely use during a vac scheme. In my own experience, practical Law is especially good for overviews of legal topics. By contrast, I've found Lexis helpful for delving a bit deeper into case law and finding commentary where things didn't always make the most intuitive sense. I also think that familiarising yourself with these tools is particularly important in developing the confidence to adequately search terms, filters, and find precedents. In terms of writing up your research, I've often found it helpful to start with a short summary of your findings before going into more detail. When fleshing out your points, I'd also suggest that you keep track of where you found your information. I’ve received particularly good feedback whenever I've included references or hyperlinks, especially if you're using internal resources or subscription databases. This is also important since it demonstrates your ability to "back up" your work and also demonstrates that you're being thorough and helpful to whoever is reading your research.Good luck with your scheme!</blockquote>
