Internship/Work Experience Advice at Solicitors

Anything you wish you'd known as an undergrad before you started? I'm about to start in a medium sized firm and I've no clue what to expect really. They don't normally take on students so it's not like they have a set programme. Any particular areas you wish you'd looked over or into first?

Best tip i have is get a notebook and keep track of the names of the case files what they are and what you did for them. This will help you build up a kind of precedence list for yourself so you can refer back. I found it very useful and it avoids you having to ask someone how to do something more than once
