[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 111376, member: 2672"] I don't think you can prepare for day-to-day work in all honesty, beyond researching the practice area anyway. That is even more so the case if you are already working in a law firm and are more accustomed to the workings of a law firm. It is really difficult to know what work you will be given. With some firms/individual departments, you might be given more simulation type work. In other instances, you might be given a task that was previously done by someone else and be asked to do it in a "safe" manner as the work isn't actually being completed for a client (where it has already been done) but gives you the experience of having to deliver real work. For many firms though, you will be given actual/live work that a trainee would do, so if you are used to these levels of responsibility already, it may not be anything that surprising for you.
