Hi, future trainees! Thank you for answering our questions - we're very lucky to be able to hear from you. Reading each person's journey was beyond inspirational - well done to you all; you have lots to be proud of.

I'd love to ask a few questions to you guys

1. Whilst I'm a law student, I feel unprepared for ACs. More specifically, I'm at a bit of loss with case studies. I understand that you guys are a mix of law and non-law students/grads. How did you come to understand the content of case studies, let alone answer them? I fear jumping into mock case studies would be of little use to me, given my lack of knowledge!

2. On the elusive commercial awareness - how do you remember the things you've heard/read? I am a self-confesssed podcast enthusiast - yet I worry that I won't necessarily be able to remember everything I have heard. Do you make an active effort to remember what you've learned or do you find that remembering everything is not necessary for success?

3. For the law grads/students amongst you - I'm curious to learn about how your approach to learning material for your career compares to your approach to learning material for your academic studies. What methods do you find most helpful for success in the latter? Since strong academic performance is effectively a prerequisite for a successful application cycle, I'd love to hear how you made sure you were/are on your academic A game.

Thank you again & all the best!
