Need advice: GDL - worth the investment?
Thank you for your reply, @Ginevra Bizzarri! I see it as an investment too but I guess I need to sit down and really assess the pros and cons. A side note, have you decided which institution you will be studying at (i.e BPP or UoL)? I am torn between those two and the only difference I can...- Fadin

Need advice: GDL - worth the investment?
Firstly, thank you so much for all this incredible information! I appreciate the time you took out to reply. This makes so much more sense. I was under the impression that law firms had their own courses at BPP or UoL but in actual fact they want you to take their electives. Are the city...- Fadin

Obviously, it is not limited to...- Fadin

Dress code
Thank you all for the replies! :) I feel more comfortable wearing a suit anyways since I wore one for two years straight at Sixth Form. BSN also replied and said either formal or smart casual. I'll post back if anything interesting comes up during the discussion.- Fadin

Dress code
A bit of a weird one but I'm sort of new to this so apologies. I'm attending the BSN's Big Conversation event tomorrow at Linklaters in the evening and I'm not sure if I should go formal with a suit, smart casual or casual?

Non-legal volunteer work
Hey all, I know it is encouraged to include legal voluntary work in the work experience section, but could you mention non-legal voluntary work (i.e. helping in a charity or fundraising) or would you advise against it? Thanks!- Fadin
