Shadowing a barrister

Hii, i’m 17 years old and i’ve got work experience in a barristers chambers.

Tomorrow i’m going to be shadowing a barrister in a murder trial in court. I’m really excited however i’m a bit nervous as i don’t really know what to expect as i’ve never been to court before😬

Could anyone give me any information as to how everything works and what i’ll be doing?

Wow that’s so exciting! I’ve shadowed a solicitor before on a civil case, but I’ve sat in a criminal case and I’ve always wanted to know what the barristers are noting down etc

You should probably wear smart clothes, no jeans or trainers really, maybe a shirt and skirt/trousers.
I’m sure your barrister will explain everything, but you will just sit near them and observe.
Good luck!
