I believed this portion of the day to be very interesting as I learned a myriad of new things about our country's criminal law. We were then given a 15 minute break and were brought upstairs to a canteen area. Once the 15 mins was up we headed back down and the second talk began.
This time we met a different barrister talking about copyright and our social media rights. I found this talk interesting too due to the fact that I had never known that there were so many copyright limitations and how hard it is for people to create new things without breaching copyright law.
He talked about our rights online with social websites such as Facebook. I was shocked when he told us that they can use our photos for ads because once we put those photos up they aren't ours anymore.
Finally we had a talk about becoming a barrister and a solicitor. Firstly we were told the differences between a barrister and a solicitor, and the speaker discussed the requirements for each occupation and how it was tough but rewarding.
We were told to be back at the school for 2 so we had some time to look around town. Overall the day was a huge success as I enjoyed it immensely and learned many new things about the law.
