    GOT MY TC OFFER TODAY! IM GOING TO BE A LAWYER!

    I'm going to write a fuller post because I think there's a lot that has to be said about the TC process that isn't really discussed on this forum (and I have been using it for years - I mean check my username, I've been here since 2021) but especially when it comes to International Students and...

    Self-funded PGDL, got 0.75 points off a distinction. Am I screwed?

    I anticipate some comments saying I should be proud of myself for getting a 69.25 on the PDGL, but I feel like that's a bit condescending given that so many people get distinctions. I know for a fact that I was undergoing some personal circumstances (like facing a potential eviction notice)...

    Non-law applicant - resources to study key technical parts of commercial law?

    Hi all, I've been struggling to find a 'easy commercial law guide for dummies' source. I am a non-law student and want to familiarise myself with how banking & finance, private equity, IP and corporate crime departments work. I don't know how intensely to self-teach this as I know they won't...

    The holy trinity (why: you, law, this firm) scrutiny... SOS ??? Anyone want to check each other's answers?

    Hi all, Got an AC coming up in a week. I've written down my answers for the "why you" "why this firm" "why commercial law" questions but would love it if someone checked over them for me to see if they're good enough (and then I won't feel like I am memorising bad answers). Don't worry, I...

    Do a good deed today by helping a scared non-law baby with legal concepts (and general AC prep)?

    Hi all! I've got an assessment centre for Ropes & Gray coming up on March 8th. I've been moving from Scotland to England which has been very hectic and which also means I'm starting my prep right today as I was busy moving and packing before. Thus, I basically have 2 weeks to get up to speed...

    AC tips, tricks, anti-barf pills and BAME resources?

    Happy evening, ya filthy animals. So in a shocking turn of events, I just got through to the Assessment Centre stage for Ropes & Gray's Vac Scheme! I’m equally elated and terrified. Anyone else got the email? Pretty please, if you've got experience with R&G, do you mind sharing your tips for...

    I'm at a cross-roads... should I take the (non-law) job?

    In continuation to my previous thread, I've been offered a job as an Archive Assistant (12 months FTC) with Mishcon de Reya. It's a big formidable firm and a big name, however I'm unsure if it's the right step to take. I graduated in December from a (UG) Politics and International Law degree...

    What is a law firm's business services sector?

    I have an interview tomorrow (oops) to be an assistant (not paralegal, subordinate to this) at Mishcon de Reya. It's to be an assistant personnel at their Business Services office. I assumed this that just client-facing office, secretarial, because when looking at their website there's no...
