thank you so so much!
no worries at all Jessica!
When it comes to the sectors/practice areas strengths. what if one is a law student and does not know to show that why a particular practice area stood out to one? what can one do show why it stood out
Thank you!!!
No problem :)
Thank you for such helpful and in-depth advice! I just wanted to ask, when we cite quotations about the firm/firm's policies that we found on websites (e.g.) as you did with Lex100 at 15:40, do we have to cite where we get the info from when we write our applications. Like should I mention that I found this info on the Lex100? Thanks!
do you know if we do have to cite the source
Hi, thanks for this amazing video. Do you have any alternative website to get info from? For instance if I can't find the profile from Legal500 and, subsequently, the link to the dispute year book, is there anywhere else I can look for for similar info? Thanks
Hiya! It sucks when the firm has missing profiles - I would really utilise the firm's website in this situation, as this could provide the information you're missing from the Legal 500 (e.g. the firm's key / specialist practice areas)
I'm at a stalemate, I've just finished year 1 of alevels and I've done well in my law exam. I don't know which career path I want to pursue between business and law and therefore which undergrad degree to pursue. Any advice?
You could perhaps explore Uni's that offer Law and Business as a degree, or a module? You could also attend some taster days at Universities for both business and law, and see which one suits you. Also just because you pick one, does not mean you cannot go into the other. I personally think the links between a legal career and business are quite close (particularly in commercial law)
Thanks mate !!!!
I would give this videos 10 likes if I could. Honestly, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You legend - thank you!
