Message: <blockquote data-quote="CantThinkOfAUsername" data-source="post: 87544" data-attributes="member: 16569">Hello all,Hoping you might be able to help with some recommendations or ideas!I have just finished the GDL at Birmingham City University (as part of their LLM 'Professional Law' course). I did very well and, in the last month or so, have been offered (and have accepted) a TC with Stephenson Harwood, starting in September 2023.They would like me to do the LPC commencing in September 2022 at BPP in Holborn - which I anticipate will be what I end up doing. There's no reason to suppose otherwise - I did ask in principle about the possibility of doing the LPC at BPP's Birmingham campus so as to avoid needing to move in 2022, and my firm were receptive to the idea, but ultimately I think I'd prefer London anyway.That leaves me a little under a year between now and the start of the LPC. I currently work full-time for a Law Centre so I am gainfully (and relevantly) employed. It's enjoyable and stimulating - but the main feature for present purposes is that it doesn't really require late working, nor does it have irregular or particularly lengthy hours.I don't have any other competing commitments besides this job at the present time. I am therefore in what I appreciate is a very luxurious position of having free time in evenings and on weekends for (likely) the next 11-12 months, whilst knowing that I have the LPC and then a TC coming up.My question is - aside from the work I am doing with my current employer, what sort of things might I do in the coming year to give myself a head-start? I do not want to rest on my laurels - I want to take advantage of the time I have available to really round out my skills, knowledge and experience and to have the best possible chance of excelling in the LPC and thriving in the TC.I'm open to pretty well any ideas - whether that be recommended reading (or other resources) that I could get stuck into, potentially doing some volunteering (and if so, where I might think about volunteering), or really anything else that I could use the time for which would serve me well in future years.Many thanks in advance!</blockquote>
