Year 12 Law work experience

Hey I’m currently a year 12 student interested in Law
My sixth form has a mandatory requirement for us to find work experience for one week in June, everyone has to do it.

I’ve emailed multiple law firms like over 50 and they’ve all either said sorry we only offer it to uni students or i haven’t got a reply.

I’ve spoke to the sixth form about this and they just keep saying “you need to find one you need to find one”

Does anyone know any law firms in England that offer work experience to sixth form students? Please

I did mine with Weightmans? I already had a mentorship with the person I was working with though.

Failing that, there a plenty online? I'm not sure if your school requires in person but Springpod is a good place to start (+ I think they MIGHT do some in person) + you get a certificate for proof at the end.

Do you have any friends whose parents are lawyers? Or family? Neighbours? If they don't give you experience, they might know a firm that does?

If nothing else, you might just have to settle for any work experience in an office, maybe in finance or accounting?
