Course Description

Ever wondered what really goes on behind the doors of a busy Irish law office? This course takes you inside the world of a solicitor, showing what it’s like to manage real clients, handle real cases, and help people navigate the legal system.

You’ll spend a day following Nina, a solicitor working in a general practice firm. From reviewing client files over morning coffee to preparing for a court hearing in the afternoon, you’ll see the range of skills and responsibilities the job involves, including organisation, communication, writing, negotiation, and problem-solving.

Through short videos, text explainers, and recap quizzes, you’ll explore each stage of the legal process and the human stories behind it. You’ll learn how the Irish legal system works, how solicitors manage their workload, and what it really takes to succeed in this demanding but rewarding profession.

Along the way, you’ll discover:

  • How the law is applied in everyday life
  • What happens when a new client walks through the door
  • How solicitors give advice, draft letters, and negotiate settlements
  • The steps involved in building a case for court
  • The balance between ethical duties, client care, and deadlines

You’ll also get practical insights into career pathways, including what to study, the training process, and the personal skills that make a great legal professional.

By the end of the course, you’ll understand not just what solicitors do, but why their work matters and how law shapes daily life in Ireland.
