[QUOTE="Deleted member 37508, post: 187206"] My last message on this as it seems to have rattled the feathers of non law students. My original post was regarding an open day my university law society are hosting with a firm. I stated it is corrupt. Myself and other students at my university have said this. 80% of the law society is ran by non law students with the exec positions all being non law. We have several legal societies including a non-law society. I’m happy for any degree to join and it does not bother be who is in charge what bothers me is the cliques and how corrupt MY law society is. And apparently Warwick law society is As well. I have applied to many things my law society has ran alongside US and city firms. We have had approximately 7 dinners. None of my friends have been accepted, majority of the students accepted are non law mostly studying history, English or PPE. I did not say those degrees were useless nor were they easier. Another member of the forum assumed that. It is annoying to study a degree centred on the career you aim to go into and not be given the opportunity to get any exposure because those who run the society (non law students) do not give them to us (law students). It ultimately leads to those at MY university in MY law society having a wealth of experience/exposure to multiple firms when applying to vacation schemes. Coasting their degrees because they’re already secure in the opportunities they have and can apply to firms with ample information. Applying to law firms alongside studying is hard. It would be nice to lessen the stress if I were to be given the opportunity to meet firms in the vicinity of MY university and not have to travel miles away for an 4 hour open-day. However, I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to do so. My first post was regarding MY university and MY law society and it being corrupt. I’m confused as to how you all missed that post and jumped down my throat stating I’m on a high horse, I have a superiority complex and I’m not doing well because I’ve been rejected from 3 open days last time I checked you’re all on TCLA without training contracts like me. Everyone deserves the opportunities they APPLY TO without bias regardless of degree. Good riddance and good night. [/QUOTE]
