There is an emphasis on not working beyond office hours on your intern days, and if you do (i.e. you work an event), they'll make sure you work less on the other days. There is study space in the office as well, and a lot of the SQE interns come in to study together which is really nice! As well as the really interesting work you get to complete as an SQE intern, it's been super lovely for me to meet my cohort, especially as someone who came through the direct route.Personally, I have been following the SQE study schedule provided by the College of Legal Practice, which allows me to stay on top of the sub-units whilst also revising previous topics. As we are working alongside it, the course is part-time! I've really enjoyed the course so far (as much as you can enjoy the SQE...), and I haven't felt overwhelmed by my SQE intern days alongside it - in fact, I quite enjoy the break from studying!If you have any further questions on the SQE internship or Reed Smith, please do put them in the AMA thread and myself and the rest of the Early Careers interns will get back to you later this week <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
