How difficult is it to get a VS being mid 20s and already qualified in another country?
Hey, thank you for replying! Yes, I've looked into that! I could try working here as a qualified solicitor in my home country, but that wouldn't really give me the work experience I'm looking for (getting to know the areas of English law and deciding which one is right for me) like a TC would...- ninadeoliveira

Personal statement character count help
Hi all! :) So, thanks to everyone who helped me and shared their LLM personal statement with me, mine is now done. However, the uni I'm applying to says your personal statement should have a maximum of 4000 characters with spaces included. I'm at 4090 and I don't think I can cut anything else...- ninadeoliveira
