Grade 10
I had no idea what law was but still applied out of curiosity, and am very glad that I did so. It was one of the best Mentorships I have attended, with the wonderful my mentor explaining legal terms and concepts, answering all our doubts, and giving us assignments to work on that felt like working at an actual legal office. Though virtual, the moot court was every bit as exciting as a real one, and now I am seriously considering becoming a lawyer.
