Hi there,

I have an AC tomorrow for SM. It only involves a written assessment and a group project.

I believe the group project will involve 'factors that will impact the profession in the future'.

No idea about the written assessment - will it involve drafting legal documents? I don't have paralegal experience so I'm worried it will.

Please, please, please bombard me with tips/anecdotes/advice.

Thank you.
