One thing I’d really emphasise is that the exercise isn’t about picking the “correct” view in relation to any given topic (there usually isn’t one). I was surprised by how many different approaches people took to each topic. What really mattered was how we engaged with each other, not what side we took. So even if a topic isn’t something you're completely familiar with, there are still really valuable ways to contribute. A few things that helped me:Think broadly: I found it helpful to reflect on some of the big issues facing the legal profession and the UK more generally. Doing a quick PESTLE analysis for each topic (or just mentally considering political, economic, social, tech etc. angles) gave me a good starting point for framing my thoughts.Ask commercially aware questions: If you're unsure how to make a strong point, asking thoughtful questions can be just as effective. It shows you’re thinking critically and can help move the discussion forward, which assessors will definitely notice. I used this approach for a few topics I knew less about, and it went down well with others and my assessors.Build on others' ideas: You don’t always have to bring brand new points to the table. Showing that you’ve listened and then asking someone to expand, or gently challenging a point in a constructive way, can really show your collaboration skills. It’s a great way to engage meaningfully without needing to dominate.Best of luck and happy to answer any more questions if that's helpful 😊</blockquote>
