Experience Is Key!


A recent article written for UK law students offers some universal truths for U.S. law students. While some of the advice is definitely aimed specifically for a UK audience, the importance of getting legal experience while in law school is emphasized with the same importance students on the other side of the pond should follow. Some of our favorite advice states that law students should do pro bono work because it "provides a great opportunity to gain experience in the legal sector as you will have direct contact with clients. It also demonstrates a commitment to the profession." For more advice on the importance of getting legal experience for law students across the globe, click HERE.
