Hi everyone, I wanted to take some time to introduce myself and my background. My name is Giorgos and I just finished my second year at QMUL( Queen Mary University of London). I am currently studying medical genetics and I am interested in IP law. I get many questions on how I decided to switch my focus from such a specific biology/medicine-related degree to law. Well to be honest, I don't even know myself, I started reading law cases out of curiosity and a couple of my friends were studying law at university so a lot of the conversations we were having were about different laws. To make a long story short, I became immersed by it and here I am getting ready for the law route. I am currently organising my CV, starting to practice Watson Glaser Tests, and conducting my research into law firms. I do not have much knowledge of the whole process and any help or recommendations on how to complete the application forms accordingly, answer the "why law" question( I am very much struggling to answer that one), or any other part of the application process.

Hi Giorgos and welcome to the TCLA community. I think your background will come across as very interesting to law firms.
Feel free to create a separate thread in our 'applications discussion' section if you need any support on questions about your application forms or answering 'why law'. I suspect you'll get a quicker answer there.
I look forward to following you in your journey.
