[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 48506, member: 2672"] If you have mitigating circumstances, the "opinion" of you could be much worse - they could think you just didn't apply yourself if your academics/lack of other evidence isn't backed up with mitigating circumstnaces. Firms will think the worst and the worst is you didn't try, not that something held you back. The only concern with mental health is whether you are going to be able to deal with the pressure of the working environment (purely because the firm has a duty of care) but people can show that through performing at a high level which tends to demostrate they can cope or have found ways to manage their condition (like how many people manage a physical condition). A very high proportion of lawyers have some form of mental health problems (whether past or current) and firms know that. It doesn't necessarily make them a bad lawyer - in fact there are some exceptional high performning lawyers who are dealing with/dealt with very challenging mental health matters. [/QUOTE]
