What's appropriate experience for direct TCs?
That's really helpful, Abbie, thank you. On your last point, I do have clear career motivations, though it is specific to employment law (both employer and employee).

What's appropriate experience for direct TCs?
Hey everyone, I know this has been asked a couple of times on here, but not quite to my circumstances, so thought I would get your thoughts.

Old GDL Answered textbooks
I’m looking to buy a second hand GDL Answered but it is the 6th edition which is a few years old I believe. Is this a problem? I’m starting my GDL in Jan. Thanks in advance!- Akimbo001

You raise a good point! I can imagine grad rec loving a cheese-making example. I was recently told about how Taylor Swift made it into an application answer, and it was received quite well haha- Akimbo001

Hey everyone - hope applications are going well! For Bristows' application - 'Other than law, what is something you are passionate about?'

Hi everyone - BCLP are asking: 'What is your understanding of how a business generates and maintains a profit? (Please provide examples)'. I am afraid I am approaching this too academically.
