Do you think that virtual internships are worth it? Do you put them in the work experience section of your applications? How do you gain the most out of them? Have you done any outside of the legal sphere to boost your commercial awareness?
What is your advice for students based outside of the UK, as an alternative to open days and law fairs since it is practically impossible for us to attend those and use that learning in our applications.Do firms sponsor International Open day applicants?
Jessica, as an International applicant, I can't be physically present for Open days and law fairs, so what can I do as an alternative of what the natives can pitch in their applications regarding their Open Day experience? I know we have talked about this but we have just briefly touched upon this, can you tell me what all I can do other than doing Virtual Internships because not all firms provide that?
How would I link the internship experience with my country's law firms which are associated with UK firms, in the application? Is there a nexus I can't see?
But that would be the case even for firms which are ranked in the same band but aren't associated with UK firms, because other than Ashrust, Clifford and A&O, no firm has been associated with the Band-1 Indian firms, plus, these 3 UK firms once had a brother relationship, at the moment, none of the UK firms are related to any Indian firm in a big way.
