I don't have any myself, but try asking your school for any alumni, or friends if they happen to have any connections. Another option is to cold-call lots of nearby firms via email and hope that you get a response back.

You are unlikely to obtain a work experience place by asking a bunch of made up people on the internet.

Large and medium sized law firms run various schemes for school and university students. Barristers' chambers run various mini pupillage schemes. See the websites of firms and chambers for details.

There are also sometimes internship opportunities in the Court Service. See the relevant website.

You can also try sending a polite letter and your cv to law firms and sets of chambers asking for work experience. Small local firms may be a better bet for this than gigantic international firms.

Good luck.
