This is a two page CV for a final year Law student.
They’ve opted for a very simple format with a standard font to appeal to the law firms that they will be applying to, and ensure that the reader isn’t distracted from the content. In terms of balance, you’ll see that there is more space taken up by the extra-curricular activities than by Legal or Other Experience. That’s very sensible for this student – they’ve done and achieved a lot in those areas, and they are going to be applying for Solicitor Training Contracts, so they’ll be talking about these experiences a lot in interviews.
