any lawyers out there - I'm a student, what should I be asking my mentor?

[cheritongirl]

I am just about to start on the GDL so am obviously a complete newbie to the Law, but as part of my course I have been a keen bean and gotten onto a mentoring programme that is really for people a couple of years ahead of me (its a PT course). So I have been allocated a mentor who is a matrimonial specialist - and TBH I have no idea what I should be asking him.. I want to look intelligent, enthusiastic and have penetrating questions but I know so little about this area of the Law that I am worried I will look an idiot.
I think I would like to work in family law but its very early days for me yet obviously!
TIA

I think you should relax and enjoy your course & the programme; if you're enthused about the subject and eager to learn (which you clearly are) then the questions will come naturally. Just be honest about what you don't know; your mentor will have been in the same position as you once and I'm sure will put you at ease.

Good luck!!

thanks buttercup, glad you think i need to relax and not try to read a whole law library or anything.. very reassuring,thanks!
