Hi I am currently a post-SPM 2015 student, still working part-time maybe starting a-levels in July.

I have been interested in studying law for quite some while and was looking forward to get some first-hand experience by getting a part-time job at a law firm, too bad most of the law firms either offer internships/chambering/pupillage (means only for law students), or they require at least certificate of pre-u (A-Levels).

Even though I have my mind set in law, there is still a part of me that wants to be entirely sure that this is the path I want to take, hence I am always on the lookout for part-time jobs/attachments in law firms. Though my teacher and parents advised against doing so (cause they think I should focus on my pre-u first), I would like to know when is the best time, or when do people usually start having attachments at law firm? During or after my A-levels? Or do people only do that when they're in law school?

I have read somewhere in a forum that getting attached to law firms will not only provide you insights but may look good on your CV/resume in the future when you're applying for universities..though others beg to differ saying that it makes no difference..

Any help/advice will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
