Matheson Ormsby Prentice is an Irish solicitors firm with offices around the world. It has its headquarters on Sir John Rogersons Quay.
On Monday, I was put into the litigation department, where I would be working over the following 2 days. I met Conor and Clodagh, both trainees and relatively new to the job. They supplied me with a number of tasks throughout my work placement. I was given a desk and computer to work at.
Throughout the day, I had to sort through two folders of documents - crosschecking them with a list of the documents and ensuring that the date/info was matching in each. What at first sounded easy soon became a tiring and required attention to detail. Then, I was tasked with researching the Irish law system and how the courts work.
On Tuesday I had to do some research on an Aviation case, and print out documents relating to the case. I also had to do some research which involved searching online/reading books from the library on both the statute of limitations and contract law.
At 10.30 on Wednesday, we left for the Criminal Courts of Justice. Before embarking, I looked at which cases would be heard on the day. All gory, all violent - I knew it was going to be hard to stomach on a Wednesday morning. We sat in on two different cases, both of which were very interesting and intriguing.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Matheson, and am currently considering a career in law.
