[QUOTE="Casual, post: 115027, member: 3660"] Hey everyone! Firstly, I wanted to express how grateful I am to the TCLA community as I found the forum incredibly helpful in this application cycle and was fortunate to secure VS for this summer! I really hope I will be able to convert it as this might be my last year of applications before I have to leave the UK :’) On that note, I am trying to structure my preparation as best as I can and while I found quite a few helpful bits of advice on this forum, I was not sure about the following: Besides reading the news and the firm’s insights, what balance would you recommend between the revision of GDL/LLB modules and the development of commercial acumen (such as through TCLA’s courses)? I am leaning towards non-contentious practice areas and from what I heard, what we learn at law school is mostly relevant in contentious practice areas while transactional seats assume more of ‘on-the-spot’ learning of new and very specific legal concepts - so would you recommend prioritising commercial awareness? And if not, what legal concepts/modules would you suggest revising first? [/QUOTE]
