Self-Fund GDL or wait a year?
When you say you're already behind, has term actually started yet or do you just mean you're behind on the pre-course prep? Tbf the pre-course prep is only for the legal method exam which is very straightforward to pass so I think you'll be able to catch up fine and would definitely say it's...- Daniel Boden

Self-Fund GDL or wait a year?
Hi Conor, To be honest I don't see a real issue with you deciding to self-fund the GDL as it means you will be using the time between now and September well and you will have one year less of exams/legal study to do! I'm currently doing the GDL at ULaw at the moment and whilst it is an intense...- Daniel Boden

Those class actions won't be very successful imo vs the likes of Robinhood because it is literally in the small print of the trading platforms' contracts with their users that Robinhood can limit the trades of their users- Daniel Boden

Whatever makes you more comfortable - for me I found it helpful to get me in an interview mode/mindset during my virtual scheme but this didn't last particularly long into week 2 haha- Daniel Boden

Yes that's never been an issue for me in past video interviews. If you have the time feel free to expand on your original points but otherwise don't worry too much- Daniel Boden

Anyone use a standing desk for work/interviews?
Agree with @Dheepa here to be honest. I'd be inclined to sit as that's what you'd do in a normal interview in an office so I'd want to keep it the same but each to their own I guess... so, if standing makes you more comfortable and you can do it without moving too much then I don't see a major...- Daniel Boden

All I'll say to that is that ignorance is bliss haha - I've seen some horrendous messages/conversations directed at people on TSR and would go as far as to say that it was some of the worst Cyberbullying I've personally witnessed... for that reason as @Jessica Booker said, I was delighted to...- Daniel Boden

I think you could perhaps use this case as evidence of your justifications for why you like litigation/arbitration e.g. the complex/problem-solving nature of the cases, how you have to come up with a strategy and then continually adapt/adjust so that you can allow your client to achieve the best...- Daniel Boden

Not for HFW but still may be of interest, the case of Halliburton v Chubb is one of the most significant litigation/arbitration decisions in recent years which I'd encourage you to have a look at if you haven't already/aren't familiar with it :) Edit: HSF have a nice summary of the case's...- Daniel Boden
