My name is Annika and I am a Trainee Solicitor at Lewis Rodgers Solicitors in Winsford, Cheshire. The Partners at the firm approached me and asked me to complete a fortnightly blog on my Training Contract almost like a \u2018Training
\nContract Diary\u2019<\/p>\n

Before commencing my Training Contract I was working as a Legal Clerk and I was mainly involved in domestic violence cases. I started my Training Contract on the 3rd<\/sup> October 2011 and have been busy since!
\nI have encountered numerous cases and clients since beginning my Training Contract and I have already learnt so much.<\/p>\n

Although I have still been attending court and making applications in domestic violence cases since my Training Contract started I have experienced many other different areas of law.<\/p>\n

I have been able to observe my Training Contract Supervisor Jason Lewis carrying out appointments and liasing with clients in the initial stages of divorce applications and children act applications. I have then been able to carry out the necessary procedures, which follow after a new client wishes to commence proceedings.<\/p>\n

I have observed my Training Contract Supervisor in court on a number of Children Act Applications and I was involved in a 4 day Criminal trial at the Crown Court.<\/p>\n

This has enabled me to increase my knowledge on proceedings and the court procedure, as well as being able to work closely with Counsel and learn a lot more about court proceedings.<\/p>\n

And it goes without saying that due to all of the above I have also been able to practice my drafting skills by drafting numerous forms and letters to clients. My typing skills have also increased as I have had great practice trying to type and keep up with fast speaking Counsel, quietly spoken witnesses and mumbling judges!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
