    Ask Reed Smith Anything! Join Rebecca Schrod, Karen Manu and Charlotte Lear ⬇️

    Hi @ReedSmithBecca ! I am aware that Reed Smith does not have a minimum A-level requirement. However, I am afraid that I will be rejected simply due to my below average A-level grades despite possibly receiving a 2.1 or 1st for my degree. How stern is Reed Smith when it comes to good A-level...

    Possible mitigating circumstance?

    Hello @Jessica Booker. Coming back to this thread as I have scored an overall 2.1 for my first year, albeit a low 2.1. I scored fairly well in my contract coursework but as expected, my low MCQ grades dragged a possible 1st or 2.1 in contract to a high 2.2 instead. Although I am glad that I...

    Possible mitigating circumstance?

    Got it. However, I'd like to prepare myself in case I receive lower than a 2.1. I have exchanged emails with my university over the past 2 days and I have been told that my circumstances can no longer be taken into account as I was (3 months) too late to inform them of my disability, and thus...

    Possible mitigating circumstance?

    If all else fails I'll either email or meet my professor and let her know about it. I've not received my overall module grade as of yet. I do think I did well in my coursework so I hope that my MCQ score does not drag down the rest of my grade. I'd still like to claim mitigating circumstances...

    Possible mitigating circumstance?

    Hi @dinoorchestra! Thank you for the advice. I'll definitely take this into consideration. I have received a reply from my university's disability support department this morning and they stated that they cannot 'revisit' my grades for the specific module as I had not informed them prior to...

    Possible mitigating circumstance?

    I too believe that this would be an issue as my grades are not consistently bad. Nevertheless, the university should take my hearing impairment into consideration as it was a huge drawback and I am merely lucky that it did not impact the rest of my modules. I have emailed the disability...

    Possible mitigating circumstance?

    Hello. I have recently finished my first year and I'm awaiting for my final grade(s) after having finished my coursework. The coursework has a 75% weightage and our MCQs have the remaining 25% weightage. I am satisfied with my coursework and have scored excellent in all my MCQs except contract...

    Demotivation

    First year LLB student here. I feel like I'm aiming too high given my circumstances. I did not score well in my A-levels (BCC final grade and A*A*C in AS) and my GCSEs weren't anything amazing either (4Cs, 3Bs, 1A* and a distinction in spoken English). I obviously don't come from a RG university...

    DLA Piper commercial awareness question

    Hi @AvniD ! I just got done with my first semester of law school so I haven't received any grades yet but in the application form they're asking for my predicted grades/grades obtained and I have neither. What do you suggest I do in this case?

    How to improve my commercial awareness and an additional commercial law question..

    I'm a first year LLB student and want to increase my commercial awareness. Any suggestions on where to start? I also wanted to know if firms have a preference for candidates who have chosen to study additional modules related to commercial/business law. My uni offers specialised 'commercial...

    Firms with no minimum alevel requirements

    Thank you for clearing my doubts. Fingers crossed that they'd look past my A-level grades 😬 they're not the absolute worst but they're nowhere close to the best either, will be even more tough given how competitive TCs and vacation schemes are.

    Firms with no minimum alevel requirements

    I have BCC as my final A-level grades. I was thinking of resitting for at least 1 or 2 of the subjects but I don't think I'll have the time to do it due to my other responsibilities at university and at home. I'm studying at a non RG university so I'm already at a disadvantage here. I did get 2...

    Firms with no minimum alevel requirements

    Does 'no minimum Alevel requirement' mean that they wont take A-level grades into account at all? Because many firms such as Herbert Smith and Ropes and Gray state that they have no minimum A-level requirement but while applying there's a section where its mandatory to mention A-level grades. Is...

    Likelihood of getting selected for a silver circle vacation scheme

    Thank you so much. Reading this gave me hope. Jessica mentioned my university in her list, so that was a breather. I know I'm at a disadvantage here but I wont let it demotivate me. Thank you Jessica and thank you AvniD for the advice!

    Likelihood of getting selected for a silver circle vacation scheme

    Hello. I'm an international student doing LLB in a British university that is ranked pretty low. Now I know that a majority of silver circle (and magic ofc) firms tend to go for either oxbridge or RG unis. I also know that they select a few students that are from neither oxbridge or RG...
