    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • We were fully immersed into the day-to-day goings on in our allocated departments. Tasks included attending meetings and recording minutes, attending court and doing legal research. There were also scheduled lecture-style sessions where individuals from different practice areas would come and explain the type of deals/cases they worked on. We were able to ask questions at the end of each session.
