Hi,
I just received an offer to study law at Oxford and I have detailed what I did in year 12 below (I used a lot of the content from these experiences in my personal statement)
Cambridge Sixth Form Law Conference
https://www.law.cam.ac.uk/access-outreach/exploring-law-conference Peter Cane Legal reasoning essay competition
https://www.ccc.ox.ac.uk/about-corpus/whats/news/law-corpusCorpus Christi Oxford law residential
https://www.ccc.ox.ac.uk/about-corpus/whats/news/law-corpusRead a short introduction to environmental law by Elizabeth Fisher (find your niche in law and do research around it)
Read What about Law? Studying law at university
Clifford Chance ready set law work experience on Forage (there is a lot of law virtual work experience options on Forage for free)
https://www.theforage.com/simulations/clifford-chance/ready-set-law-8vwxKeep up to date on recent legal developments ( I listened to the UK Law weekly podcast)
I also started the process of a law based EPQ but didn’t include the actual qualification on my UCAS, I only included the research I learned from the process (only mentioned an EPQ if you are 100% sure you will complete it)
And just overall research on areas of interest and looking for different opportunities to listen to law lectures/ talks.
And for the LNAT, I did a few practice papers to familiarise myself with the timings and the structure but a lot of the multiple choice section is just down to instinct, so don’t over think it. However, for the essay section it is good to keep up to date with recent news so you can include them in your essay. Also, practice writing short essays with an introduction and conclusion and have one of your teachers mark them.
In the case you get an interview, makes sure you know your personal statement really well and keep up to date with regular news and legal developments. Other than that, speak your thoughts out loud. Practice doing this to your peers and parents etc. Do this in the interview. Don’t hesitate to say what you are thinking, just go with it and explain why you think what you think. Also. Don’t be afraid to change your answers based on their reply or keep your answer the same, just make sure you explains why.
Hope it all goes well!!!
