The 21-year-old has found criminal law the most interesting area, which was heightened by two internships she did. Last year, she worked two days
a week for seven months at the Serious Fraud Office, and this summer she interned at the Police Prosecution Service.
I find both sides of criminal law interesting, whether you are prosecuting on behalf of the community or defending someone
“As opposed to an area like commercial law, where you might be representing an insurance company, you are really representing people on a more
personal level."
“I am definitely a people person. I like connecting
with people on an individual scale.”
Ina has not decided whether she would prefer to work as a prosecutor or a defence lawyer.
“A lot of the preconceived notions you go in with are not necessarily true. I used to think I wanted to go into prosecution, but I realise I am open to both
sides. They both do amazing work."
