Feeling such a wreck
I know that feeling. It takes a while to get your bearings but in the long term I always think the people (like you) who prepare will be on top. So I wouldn't feel bad about today, I think that's normal. What were you finding hard in the class? PS: I hate public law.- Sofia

Why commercial law? (For non-law students specifically)

TC application or Vac scheme?
