this simulation got me out of my comfort zone, it informed me of the actual work which is done by the firm, i am no longer clueless of what exactly it is that commercial law firms actually work on. Through this simulation, i believe that my research skills have improved. The information and short videos before tasks were truly helpful.

I liked how the simulation provided a realistic bridge between academic theory and legal practice. It wasn't just about reading laws, but about applying them to modern issues like cloud computing. I specifically enjoyed the eDiscovery task, as it taught me how to identify 'Privileged' documents in a professional corporate environment.
This program was an exceptional learning experience that helped me apply my knowledge of the law and helped me become well versed in terms of drafting as well as contents that need to be well articulated in legal documents. It has honed my writing skills and has largely equipped me to draft without constant supervision
