I enjoyed that the simulation reflected the type of work a junior lawyer would complete in practice. The tasks were realistic, encouraged me to think critically about legal and commercial issues, and helped me develop my drafting, legal research and analytical skills. I also liked that the work built on previous tasks, making the experience feel like working on an actual client matter.
I really enjoyed how the program introduced digital law concepts through realistic tasks that reflect the kind of legal challenges faced in modern practice. It was especially insightful to see how lawyers at Herbert Smith Freehills approach data privacy, cybersecurity, and tech-driven legal issues. The simulation helped me better understand the intersection between law and innovation.
It felt like I was getting proper education. The questions and model answers fascinated me, and helped me realize that I have still got work to do in terms of improvement. I am motivated to go over the course again for improved learning and better understanding, as it is pretty much a novel concept to me. I sincerely appreciate being given this opportunity. Many thanks. Sincerely, Adaobi
