Yr12 LAW WOK EXPERIENCE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Hey, i've been trying to find law work experience ever since September but specifically yr12 law work experience/ summer internships are all based in London which is unfortunately too far for me as i live in Manchester. I would've expected Manchester to have lots of work experience opportunities but i GUESS I WAS WRONG!!! there's only one firm that do do it but are only taking 6 people during the Easter holidays. Would it be better for me to send cover letters to multiple law firms across Manchester or shall i just travel to London??

Relax. You don't need work experience in order to obtain a place at a good university.

Right...but when you have average gcse grades and are aiming to get into a top russel group uni like UOM your going to have to make sure that you stand out and know that you put as much as effort you can before submitting the application.....

If you want to find out what working in the legal sector is all about, just spend some time sitting in the public gallery of your local court - Observe a court or tribunal hearing - GOV.UK

Fancy 'work experience schemes' will not impress any University.
