Commercial Law Work Experience

A law firm called Pinsent Mason offers work experience placements for those still at school as well as Gap year placements for those going on to university. As this field is very competitive, it is well worth investigating if you are considering a career in law:

Workshop Conferences - Nottingham

This long running series of privately run taster courses during Easter and the Summer, is promoting its wares, which involve residential course for Medicine, Veterinary, Physics, Law, Psychology, Nursing and Journalism. There is a substantial charge and they are based at Nottingham University but not run by them. They are quite well regarded, but locally based work experience can be as valuable and cheaper.
