Outside of direct legal study, something that I really appreciated was how progressive and forward thinking Exeter Law School was through its adoption as the first law school in the country to use computer exams.

In reference to legal study, I really enjoyed the group work element through which I got to meet so many different law students and particularly enjoyed the group discussions over legal intricacies. What did you enjoy most about your programme and what was the biggest highlight? I was the president of the Exeter Negotiation Group and was a member of the Exeter University Amateur Boxing Club, Dodgeball Society, West Country Society, Debating society, Model United Nations, Economics society, Entrepreneurs society, Creative Writing society and the Exeter Law society Competitions: Oxford University International Intellectual Property Moot 2018-19, Oxford University Press National Mooting competition, Devon Chambers Mooting competition, Exeter Negotiation competition Please tell us if you were a member of any societies, groups or sports clubs? The huge breadth of work, meeting a diverse array of clients and fellow lawyers, hearing interesting stories and being engaged with the most pressing economical issues of the day really helps me maintain my passion for a legal career. The intellectual challenge and difficulty is really alluring and the obstacles you have to undertake to overcome the challenge and find a solution to the difficult task placed before you is something I really enjoy about legal work. Very few careers can give such a thorough cycle of intellectual growth and development the way law does and empowers you to become an active and contributing member of society. Why did you choose this career? And what do you enjoy most about your work?Ī career in law is one of the most empowering careers one can pursue as it is a job that requires you to constantly innovate and change, be someone capable of adapting to the times so that you can help others whether it is through pro bono and giving back to society or helping businesses resolve impasses. I will start my Training Contract at Clyde & Co in September 2021 which will last for 2 years after which I will qualify as a solicitor. I'm currently in the process of moving to London to begin my Legal Practice Course (LPC) sponsored by my law firm Clyde & Co. I have just finished my third year of studying Law and will be graduating next summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What have you been doing since leaving Exeter, and what are you doing now?
