Hi there!
I have completed a handful of Forage internships in law but each time I find that the tasks take me 2-3x longer than the time estimate given.
I'm a bit concerned that this suggests I would struggle to do actual trainee tasks effectively and on time. Maybe this is an overreaction - it is an entry-level simulation - but at the same time I'm surprised at how tricky it is.
I'm possibly struggling because I'm not a law student. I notice that I can find legal documents novel and overwhelming to research.
Anyway, I would otherwise have hoped I'm up for the job of commercial law - I do well academically and I pass psychometric tests. Despite this, there's a part of me that worries I'm not built for being a trainee if I'm so challenged by something like an open internship.
Can anyone shed some perspective on the relative difficulty of Forage law internships?
