[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 27663, member: 2672"] This is clearly an important conversation to have. I think it is vital we have this type of discussion on these forums. Being afraid to ask questions is something people need to get better at - and that goes for all candidates (and even trainees) on all matters. It’s generally not what you ask but how you ask for it as to how it will be perceived. Anxiety/worry about asking questions will only stop you exploring options and finding solutions - that’s basically your job as a lawyer, people need to get used to doing it. Most commercial firms will have a laptop they can lend you. It isn’t a big ask to a law firm. The worst that will happen is they say no and that has no impact you you as an individual, and doesn’t put you in any different situation than you were before you asked the question. In fact you could be viewed more positively by being seen as being proactive in trying to solve a problem. [/QUOTE]
