[QUOTE="Lawlawland, post: 221148, member: 42462"] Hey People! Welcome to my hall of f(sh)ame! For both accountability and easy tracking of updates in a space where I can't be found, I am starting this thread to keep track of all my applications for this cycle. [B]Who am I?[/B] I am an international student, dipping my toes properly in big law applications this time. I am about to graduate in Technology Law. While I tried applying for a few firms' last cycle (my first year in the UK), I was unsuccessful for the reasons I now know why (I didn't do any research or knew how to make a solid application). So, ideally, this is the FIRST CYCLE in my books! But I am learning and preparing myself better every passing day. And, this would be a space where I document all my successes and failures, coz I love myself some journaling. I hope to keep this space updated regularly, and I would appreciate it if you could comment for an update and hold me accountable.
