    Law work experience, what to expect?
    I am a first year law undergraduate (going into my 2nd year). I have obtained some work experience in a law firm over the summer and wondered what to expect? It is a criminal law firm, what am I likely to be doing?

    Thanks

    I did work experience at a criminal firm and I mostly attended Court to watch the proceedings and go into client conferences.

    I did work exp at a law firm last summer. It is possible that you might just be filing and reading documents. Whatever you do it will be great experience!
