Do you need a CV for work experience at a law firm?

I am planning to contact a local law firm about work experience but then I was wondering whether I would need a cv for it? Help!

How old are you?

16 in my first year atm

Of... sixth form?

The thing is that most people at your stage don't have much to put on a CV.

I'd probably draft one anyway and send it with my email if I were enquiring that way, to show eagerness. It won't do any harm, and it won't take long to put together.

However, the most reliable way to get work experience would be if you had any friends whose parents were solicitors, or your parents knew someone, or your teachers knew someone, or something like that. In that case you wouldn't need a CV.

Don't worry if it turns out you can't get anything at this stage. You're a little bit early to be worrying too much about it.

Yep of sixth form haha

I definitely want to have some work experience in law because it will help with my university application. I want more than just grades (god knows if i'll even get the grades) to show that i am eager and interested in the subject.
