What Students Say
"The competition was a lot of fun, but it also helped me to develop a lot of the soft skills that employers look for. I enjoyed the whole interview process: the niceties around ensuring that a client is comfortable and happy to discuss their issue, questioning them and unpicking their statements to drive at the truth of the situation, and devising a solution that has their best legal and commercial interests at its core. These are important skills for lawyers, as they need to be able to engage with clients and understand their priorities." Dominic Griffin Sussex Law School |
