Law Internship in London, a Lovely Journey

Some time ago I applied for an internship in London, which I had always wanted to do during my semester break. I was very fortunate to receive a swift response from StudentsGoAbroad followed by more information and details about the internship program. It did not take me long to define my decision and prepare my trip to London. As soon as I did a consultation with StudentsGoAbroad expert, I was forwarded to the potential company immediately. Long story short, I got the internship position! Though the preparation was a little rushy for me, everything was well taken care of. From accommodation to administration, all was settled by the time I arrived in London.

The law firm I did my internship for, in London, has several office-branches in different areas and cities. During my internship period, I had been working in the Criminal Law Department, where I had the chance to learn something new since my original study would relate more to the Family Law Department. After the first two days, my range of tasks and responsibilities was widened, hence I had to handle things I had not had the capabilities to, and that was an extremely challenging point of my internship. But with constant loving support from my colleagues, slowly but surely I managed to handle all of my tasks professionally. Besides experience, my colleagues were one of the best things I could get from this internship, they always showed great care and support.

Besides working, I also got a lot of time to explore the town, even from my tasks. I would be sent to the courts or requested to pick up evidence at the police station, some other time, as simple as bringing some copies to other partnership law firms. At one point, I had to send some documents to Cardiff, which took me 2 hours to get there by train. After the job was done, I spent the rest of my day in Cardiff and was fairly delighted by the whole experience.
