just curious, is law assessments and tests in uni just a bunch of essays?
I can't speak for other unis as I have only done law at one - but at my uni (UWS), assessments are varied:just curious, is law assessments and tests in uni just a bunch of essays?
There is no strict rule about when you can apply and different places want people of different years. Generally though these jobs are few and far between, they aren't always advertised (particularly for part-time/casual) and thus your best bet is to approach/call/email random firms. It can be paid or voluntary and the best way to get paid work is to start volunteering...community legal centres are often willing to take volunteer law studentsThanks for all the input so far! Is it true that lots of law exams are like open book tests? And also do you have to write lots of essays for assessments and exams so it'd be good if you're a eloquent writer? Also at what year can law students apply to work as a paralegal - and how do you find these places, do you do to your local firm to ask? Btw is the work experience as paralegal paid or voluntary work? Thanks very much!
