[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 58042, member: 5063"] Great question! To be honest, I don't think there is necessarily a right or wrong answer. Personally, I've only ever done one EC and never held a committee position at Uni level; I've never felt as if I'm at a disadvantage for that, either. I've always focussed on working and earning so the vast majority of my non-law experience is of being self-employed so I was really primarily asked about that in interviews. I was never asked "why don't you have any ECs?" for example, nor anything even hinting at it. I think that the [B]skills gained[/B] are far more important than a given role in the abstract. Yes, committee position ECs are great for showing responsibility etc, but, then again, so are many other things. I think the application process is more about leveraging any and every bit of experience you have rather than what those particular experiences are (within reason, of course!) Hope that helps, would be really interested to hear others' opinions :) [/QUOTE]
