A lot of people include things such as volunteering at Citizen’s Advice or law clinics, and it is really relevant experience to show.As mentioned previously, I’d be careful with how you describe the nature of the advice. Unless you were supervised by a qualified lawyer or it was a regulated legal setting, you might want to avoid saying that you have legal advice directly. Instead, you could say something like:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">“I supported clients in understanding legal processes and completing forms related to XYZ”</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">“I guided clients through administrative forms and signposted relevant legal information”</li> </ol>This still highlights your involvement and the contributions that you made. It also discusses the skills that you developed, such as communication, empathy, and client handling, without overstating the role.So yes, definitely include it, but make sure you frame it accurately. It’s really great experience, and will be a strong addition to your application!</blockquote>
