I see where you are coming from, NUS would technically be an upgrade being ranked 15th in the world but I take everything you said on board. I have a friend in Singapore who said I can stay with saving £700 and the tuition fees are waived by my university so I just think it is a fantastic opportunity, personally, even if perhaps not as advantageous law wise as I originally thought.
Thank you for the ideas, I have been applying for insight days and any vacation schemes that are available for first years in the Spring & Summer. I will get into contact with the revelant personnel about such legal charities. I will look at both Nottingham and back in Norwich for the Summer. I did think about CAB but I thought 6hrs+travel might be a stretch, however, I will reconsider as I was keen on the opportunity. I interned at a local firm (I say interned, it was more admin work as it was pre-uni), I will see if I can shadow there and do you know how best to contact courts about shadowing judges?
Thank you.
