Either way, it helps if your supervisor is approachable. Of course, you need to feel able to ask work-related questions, but you should also feel as though you can approach them with personal issues too. Who your supervisor is will shape your training experience and having a good supervisor may even convince you to join a particular practice area or team. Trainees at these Future Lawyers Winner<\/strong> firms had rave reviews for their superiors and felt comfortable approaching any member of staff, regardless of their level of seniority.
