[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 58261, member: 1572"] Completely agree with everything that as already been said so I won't add too much but, in my final year I consciously chose to turn down the President role for a society because I realised the title alone wouldn't add much and I felt that everything I had already done up to that point, through smaller roles in other societies, things I had done before university and my part-time job gave me a wealth of experiences I could draw upon. I don't think wanting to focus on university and writing good applications is a bad thing at all and I do agree that it could be beneficial to make sure 100% of your free time is dedicated to the application process but echoing what everyone else has said, you'd need to be able to show law firms that you are able to perform in situations similar to ones you might encounter in the workplace (and academics alone do not provide this) My point is don't feel the need to take on huge time intensive roles just for the title. Instead make full use of any roles and experiences you already do have, and really try to objectively assess if you've gained enough skills through them. [/QUOTE]
