[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 75997, member: 2672"] Three LLMs do not put into question someone’s commitment to law, clearly doing three shows a lot of commitment. The issue is that it is more that this is incredibly rare, especially for someone who hasn’t started their career yet. So it just looks incredibly unusual, and so people can’t see the logic. What questions a law firm will have seeing this, aren’t really related to “desperation” but more: - what is the logic in doing three? One is common, two is rare, but very few people do three because it gets a bit samey, and what are you doing that is different/new/pushing your boundaries? Some firms may also question how such courses were funded? Fine if you have scholarships etc (far more logic there) but there will be a question of your independence if there is a sense you are living off the bank of Mum & Dad to fund an endless academic career. It might also put into question your willingness to step outside of your comfort zone. Have you got comfortable in life as an academic? And if so, are you really ready for the transition to the world of work after committing to academia for so long. [/QUOTE]
