Welcome! Introduce yourself here :)

[Nicole]

Hiya!

We are quite a small community at the moment so I thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves here. Please also tell us an interesting fact about yourself if you want to!.

I'm Nicole, a future trainee

My interests: I love to bake and dance. My not-so-interesting fact is that I don't know how to whistle!

Interesting fact: I have a (giant) puppy named Winston.

Wow I didn't know you left Weil! I did see your thread on The Student Room, you were amazing at helping people out on there and seemed to really enjoy it! Will you still be answering questions there?

I'm Coralin and originally from Greece. I am in my final year at UCL studying law. I did a vacation scheme in my second year and was unsuccessful so I'm hoping to get a TC this year.

My interesting fact is that most of my friends here call me Coraline after the film, (which you should see if you haven't already, it's really good)!

[George]

Hi everyone.

My name is George Kajwenge and I am an international student from Uganda studying law at the University of Exeter. I recently completed my first year and I am very pleased with my results. However, I still feel like my A level grades may let me down when applying for VS and TC's.

I am a Bird & Bird brand ambassador as well as sponsorship and careers officer for the Exeter African Caribbean Society. I have also attended open days at Weil and Latham and Watkins, and a commercial awareness workshop at NRF.

Two fun facts about me are I've summited Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru, and just like Toni, I'm a huge Kanye fan!

PS: I also suck at being concise
PPS: This site is an awesome resource that I'm definitely gonna share with my friends

Hi everyone,

My name is Christy and I am a first year law student at Lancaster University. I have been unwell for 2 years - with an illness which originally meant I had to leave my first degree - but I am more motivated and enthusiastic than ever to give these applications my best shot over the next few years!

This seems like a truly great website that I would really love to be part of during this process.

Fun facts about me are that yoga is my go-to coping mechanism (yes, anywhere wearing anything!!) and I secretly want to be a popstar

Welcome Christy, and welcome back to law! Yoga has been on my bucket list for some time now
