[QUOTE="-legal-, post: 188510, member: 29814"] Hi, I am currently in the process of refining my work experience section and wanted to get some insight on the length/content of it. "I had the opportunity to shadow a team of lawyers, primarily focusing on medical negligence cases. This experience provided a comprehensive view of legal practice, from case preparation to courtroom proceedings. My role was to observe daily tasks, including contract drafting and case preparation, and to attend court sessions to gain insight into how lawyers approach hearings and trials. I immersed myself in each task, closely observing the precision required in drafting documents and the meticulous preparation needed for cases. What I found most engaging was attending court, where I could see the dynamic nature of legal argumentation. I was struck by how lawyers adapted their tone, body language, and choice of words to suit different audiences, from judges to opposing counsel. The balance of assertiveness, respect, and strategic adjustment in their delivery inspired me, and I appreciated the skill required to present complex information with clarity and impact. This experience reinforced my enthusiasm for the legal profession, particularly in roles that require both analytical skills and effective communication. I gained a deeper appreciation for attention to detail and strategic adaptability. My supervisor recognised my keen interest and dedication, giving me additional opportunities to observe client meetings." Most of my work experience details are very similar to this, structure and length-wise. I would appreciate any piece of advice or any reccomendations. [/QUOTE]
