You should definitely use first year as a year to learn more about what you are genuinely interested in (practice areas, what type of law firms, solicitor vs barrister etc..) and attending different events to deepen your understanding. Apply to open days to firms that you're curious about, as this will really help when you start applying next year. Try also to schedule some calls with future trainees / current trainees through Linkedin that went to Exeter to learn about their experience. Personally, I did a lot of pro bono work and clinics in first and second year due to genuine interest, but I found that this was super helpful in my applications because a lot of the skills you learn are essential for being a lawyer (drafting, working under pressure, managing your time, working with others and collaborating...). So I would recommend applying to pro bono clinics in exeter, if you have a university clinic, or any other clinic that is looking for volunteers! I think also have a look through the different TCLA forums and resources as they really serve as a great way to introduce you to commercial law!</blockquote>
