That being said, if you are applying for the Summer week and have just finished your first year of law, then we would certainly consider your application.To apply,&nbsp;please send a covering letter and a copy of your CV.&nbsp;Your application should outline your interests, career plans and why you feel you are the right candidate to spend a week with us.
