How have you found juggling work with your study days?
Effective time management is an important skill when it comes to juggling work with studying; however, I’ve found that the allocated time for studying, and the study leave that’s granted in advance of an exam, has been sufficient and allowed me to apply myself fully to both work and study. That said, personal effective time management is incredibly important.
What advice would you give to anyone considering an apprenticeship?
The solicitor apprenticeship is a six-year commitment. As such, I’d advise that prospective applicants research the legal profession fully to determine whether it’s the right path for you. This can be done by attending insight days and seminars/webinars, undertaking related work experience, and simply reaching out to existing apprentices to hear their experiences.
How has AI impacted the work you do as a solicitor apprentice?
AI has been effective at streamlining a particular set of processes and activities, which allows for a greater focus on legal subject matter and minutiae. For example, language models have assisted me when summarising complex case details, vetting legal research and verifying citations, among other administrative tasks. As AI and data privacy continue to rapidly evolve, I look forward to seeing what the future of this space holds!
