National Apprenticeship Week: The Value of Hands-On Legal Education

In honor of National Apprenticeship Week, Brooke Moon, a solicitor-apprentice with Ashurst, recounts her journey and elaborates how enrolling in the scheme has boosted her professional development. Often relegated to the less glamorous side of law, apprenticeships can, according to Moon, offer crucial hands-on experience that complements theoretical learning. This validates the importance of apprenticeships in laying a foundation for successful legal careers.

Simultaneously, the Atlanta Judicial Commission has commenced accepting nominations for the position of Municipal Court Judge for the City of Atlanta Municipal Court, creating an opportunity for ambitious law professionals to serve their city. Criteria for nominees include being at least 25 years old, residency in Atlanta for at least a year prior to appointment, and a minimum of five years of admission to practice law in Georgia.
