    Dress to impress: men's clothing for vacation schemes and law firm events

    PS maybe @Jacob Miller @Daniel Boden you can share your tips on clothing care?

    Dress to impress: men's clothing for vacation schemes and law firm events

    It might be a bizarre thought for some, but I would be fairly sure that charity shops in areas with an older population would be an excellent source, as you touch on @Jacob Miller .

    SQE content - your thoughts wanted

    Hi @Jessica Booker, this will be really insightful I am sure. I wonder if you can consider including: - a bit of history on the CPE--> GDL--> SQE and what they are hoping to achieve (I know it's supposedly about diversity but the jury really is out) - any insight into how its success will be...

    Help buying/choosing professional clothing (especially for women)
