Overview
I gained insight into the different aspects of litigation, eg. Coordinating counsel, expert witness evidence, client meetings etc. This also allowed me to observe how lawyers communicate with different types of stakeholders in a case. I undertook statutory, case law, and general topic research and made attendance notes.

Open to answering all questions and the employees were very proactive in giving me different opportunities that I can be involved in.
