There were some spaces available and I competed to now be told that I have been put on the reserve list for the grand final! It seems like reserve lists and I are inseparable lol.

So I’ve done 8 applications so far and had 5 rejections. I feel a bit demoralised/dejected and lacking motivation. Does anyone have any good advice to get past these feelings and keep going?

They’re a great way of showing that you have an interest in commercial law/the firm your applying to. But they also help you understand if this is the career for you, and talking to trainees/associates/partners at the events or doing workshops really improves your practical skills if you get to...- thirdtimelucky
