    Thanks both! Really helpful. I’m currently volunteering at a law clinic, and work as an assistant (more admin than legal, but am exposed to legal stuff obv) at a law firm; was just wondering if that would be alright in terms of firms viewing this as ‘legal experience’

    Does anyone have ideas on what experience is decent for direct TC apps? I don't have paralegal experience but is that necessarily a hinderance?

    I just find it bizarre how (some) younger students act like it’s the strangest thing in the world to find people older than them applying to the same roles they’re applying for. And to make matters worse, they seem to have some innate urge to actively share with you their ‘wonder’ 😭

    Hey Jessica, thank you so much for this, it is really helpful. I was doing exactly that because I thought it would be a sort of framework for an answer; I've never attempted a question like this before, so was trying to grasp at straws, really! And yes, it was in reference to that although...

    Hey Jesscia, thanks for this! Alternatively then, do you think it would make sense to talk about (again, taken from an article on FT) how discussions of 'the UK having less regulators' will impact clients across various sectors? Also, should I be referencing specific clients?

    Hi everyone, I've never answered a question like this before (first proper cycle), and so I'm unsure what sort of discussion points I need to be hitting for this and just wanted some advice. The question is asking 'What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the firms clients at the...

    Is anyone still planning to apply to SH? Before I start properly writing out essay-style answers to the questions... They're rolling but say they don't fill out spaces until after the deadline so just wanna check if it will be worth it

    For me, it helps when I remember that me and the interviewers are essentially just having a conversation! They're sat in front of you to listen to you, and if you maintain confidence in that (fake it till you make it), then it kind of alleviates some nerves!! Adding on: it's okay to pause for a...

    Stephenson Harwood And thank you for that! Will definitely do that. It's just funny trying to be liberal with responses after doing the exact opposite of that for a 250 wordcount 😭

    600 words each for three questions is so tricky - how does one effectively ramble on for so long :/
