It is totally normal to feel a bit confused - I had no real idea what a case study exercise was when I completed my first AC a few years ago! I have made some general posts on case studies, which I have quoted below, and hopefully they are a useful guide. I have also quoted a practice case study exercise by Jacob Miller that I found super useful when preparing, so I'd definitely check that out if you have the chance!An individual case study presentation usually involves being given a short business or legal scenario to analyse on your own, some time to prepare, and then you will be asked to present your conclusions to the assessors or graduate recruitment team. The "presentation" element isn't necessarily about having the "right" legal answer - it is about clear structure and reasoning, which you can clearly communicate to the assessors.They will be looking for how you identify the key issues, prioritise them, and explain your recommendation logically. You will often get follow-up questions to test your thinking, not your technical knowledge - this doesn't necessarily mean that what you have said is wrong! They're testing how you argue your points when challenged on them, typically to ensure that they are founded in facts and evidence. However, it is also encouraged to change your answer if the assessors mention something that you hadn't considered and you won't be marked down because of it - just make sure to communicate this to them!I always found that keeping the structure relatively simple works best: outline the problem, talk through the main issues, give a clear recommendation and briefly explain why.Try not to overthink it (if you can!) - as long as you explain your thought process clearly and can back up your arguments, you should be completely fine! Best of luck - I'm sure you'll smash it!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
