24 MJLD News from the MJLD Solicitors Insight Day at the University of Law, Chester Thursday 9th January 2014 Committee members from the MJLD attended at the University of Law to talk to students about their routes into law and an average day in the office. Benjamin Fraser, of DLA Piper UK LLP, Amy Armstrong of Hill Dickinson, Mark Gannon of KLS Law and Charlie Mahoney of MSB Solicitors each delivered a short presentation describing how their careers had progressed since university and trying to summarise the day to day duties of a young legal professional. The talks were followed by the panel hosting an enthusiastic question and answer session with 40 students, all of whom are preparing to apply for the GDL/LPC courses. The session ended with some informal networking. The presentations were part of the University of Law’s solicitor insight day which gives students the opportunity to delve into the life of practising professionals, through a series of presentations and networking events. The panel provided extensive insight and opinion and were honest and realistic when answering questions. We hope that all of the students came away with a clear idea of what is required to work in the law and that they took an optimistic outlook from the event with regards to a career in the profession.
