Hello everyone!

My name is David and I am about to begin the law conversion course at ULaw Bristol! I last applied for VS/TCs in the 2019/20 cycle without passing application stage even once (I don't consider tests to be post-app) and decided to try my hand at other things after graduating in 2020 but I've now found myself back here cos I think law is really where I belong after all! I'd never introduced myself on the forum before and simply started posting last time but I'm looking forward to being more active and getting to know people better this time!

I hold a 2:1 Scots law degree although my individual modules are actually not very consistent but I've had a huge change in mindset over the last year and am hoping to land a VS/TC this year by methodically meeting law firms, curating a shortlist of the firms I want to apply to, and going through the VS route rather than DTC (with the couple of exceptions in A&OS/Freshfields among others).
