    They often do but I would not know why. I am assuming that they are checking what you post and what you liked too to see what kind of person you are but I am just assuming here.

    Email them first and ask them what you should do.

    It might be in the future so I would email the firm sending them the full list of courses at least you have quenched the risks that may arise. At this stage, it should not be a big issue though.

    Absolutely not, I have done that last year and they are pretty chill about it, it is common practice and many do that so I would not worry at all about this. It might be firm specific but it is usually common practice and many people switch for many different reasons so ask graduate recruitment...

    I would put everything that appears on your transcripts and records so there is not discrepancy between your documents and what you say. I had so many subjects to put too but I out everything because they appeared on my transcripts so I would always recommend following what your transcripts say.

    I personally think you have really good chances of succeeding and you should definitely apply! You have valid experience and any law firm would be willing to give you an interview for sure. I think the trick would be to be able to perfectly explain why are you moving to law and where is this...

    I think it is totally fine to mention it as your last reason, I used it plenty of time myself when I was applying and it worked. For my Gibson interview, they actually were impressed by the amount of research I have done based on something I said about pro bono which is not advertised anywhere...

I personally would try and change what can be changed. Your experiences, grades, universities and things like...
