Message: <blockquote data-quote="thirdtimelucky" data-source="post: 111293" data-attributes="member: 3747">Yes I agree!! I was a bit thrown by them but I really felt like I was incredibly lucky in that I had answers for them!1) For number one, I am incredibly lucky that my boyfriend is studying to become a barrister and we often talk about cases. In this instance we had discussed a case (Pakistan international Airlines v. Times Travel) which saw the Supreme Court decide against dissolving a contract (in this case because they did not believe there was any proof of economic duress). So I used this as an example of why I didn’t think courts should. This this became a conversation on NDAs and sexual abuse victims - should a court be able to dissolve this kind of contract. I said no, it’s the choice of the victim to chose to sign the NDA/settlement and unless there is proof of it being signed under threat or not consulting a lawyer then I think it’s fine to have them and for the court not to dissolve them. 3) for three, I said that I think firms need to think about their company ethos, does the client fit that ethos and are the clients asking for the firm to cross that line. If so I think it’s fair for the firm not to work with them. I then used the example of Elon Musk asking Cooley to fire one of their associates as a good example of this point. I was then asked about working with oil/gas firms and climate change. To which I responded that I felt the transition to clean energy needed energy clients and regardless, all clients need representation especially if we are trying to transition to clean energy - there is a lot of new regulations and possible fines - so as a lawyer I would not mind representing these clients. 4)Which leads into question 4- what if there are climate change protestors outside of work, how would you feel? I said well given that I work for the government (in housing/building safety) I am very used to protestors outside of work so as long as I know I’m doing a good job and not working on something I feel is morally wrong I am happy to go into work! With the contract one in the case study I actually did not give a very good answer as I misunderstood the interviewers question so your advice is well received from me if I ever come across this in another AC!!</blockquote>
