Students should, wherever possible, do internships in the firms they are interested in to do their pupillage, and/or pursue their legal careers. This period of internship will allow them to learn more about a practice, the career opportunities, the scope of work, the clientele and the work culture of the organisation - this will assist them in making better informed choices when deciding which firm to join.
