    Honestly I had a quick little cry while deciding if I could actually go through the 10-4 AC today but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity! I truly thank coffee, paracetamol and adrenaline for giving me the energy to push through lol!

    Hahaha I was honestly struck by the question because although I don’t study law my boyfriend and I had just discussed the case times travel v Pakistan international airlines and the concept of economic duress so it was honestly the best question I could have been asked! I think it then evolved...

    Mine felt like this today! We had a long debate about morals and whether courts should be able to invalidate signed contracts. They also kept pushing me to give them an answer on my policy work (I work in the civil service) re why shouldn’t builders pay for insurance premiums. I think at one...

    Thank you James! I’ve just finished and honestly had a really enjoyable time (although I am exhausted!). Really couldn’t have had a better interview tbh and loved the negotiation/case study though felt quite interrogated by my assessor haha. Thank you all for the support, I really appreciate it ❤️

    Omg thank you for this! Makes me feel a bit better that someone else (I imagine lots of people) have gone through the same thing! I hope it all went well for you in the end :)

    Thank you @AvniD and @James Carrabino ! My AC is tomorrow so I guess there really isn’t much I can do in way of preparation besides the things I’ve already done! I’ve woken up feeling a bit better so I am hoping the trend continues for tomorrow. I am a bit worried because it’s from 10-4 and I...

    You poor thing, that’s awful! I hope you take the time to rest it off! I am in exactly the same boat. Tested positive for covid yesterday, feel dead! I’m planning on letting grad rec know just so they are aware. It’s likely they won’t be able to rearrange but worth letting them know beforehand...

    After 2 cycles, I decided that having a top firm was not for me because it just leads to more heartbreak if I get rejected! That being said my interactions with certain firms’ trainees like Stephenson Harwood really helped convince me that they were a lovely firm with likeminded people! I’ve...
