    If I go with a sector approach, can I discuss project finance and environmental litigation etc in Energy or should I just be safe and go with a more specific practice area? I say this because even within Real Estate there are several types of law so I'm not sure how to approach this. Thank you!

    Thank you both!! Am I at a disadvantage if I apply for a Spring scheme over a Summer scheme if they both have the same rolling deadline? I assume they screen Spring ones first and there's a month until the deadline!
