In reply to STEM supremacist. Might that be because we communicate as a job? In English (or Latin if you haven't grown up yet)? We problem solve, not rote learn and regurgitate. Good lawyers are good at all the basics. Some study of literature and history helps. Maths not so much.

In reply to Well now you gotta say it. I second this idea of having a GradRec article or Legal Recruiter article. I was once told that none of my experience was worth anything because it was not in the UK, even though every gradrec/recruiter have always said that 'all experience is good experience'.

Ironic cos most law students I know aren’t intelligent enough to excel in any STEM or numeracy-related subjects.

How about we have an article like this about these law firms, specifically on recruitment, and the “advice” that they give to those looking for a TC.

I have a great book of grudges.

When I was a law student, I was that guy that would answer every single seminar question, and I almost knew the answer – or near enough – to everything. More to the point, I made that known. I didn’t feel superior to anyone, but I know I would have conveyed that impression.

I wish I could go back and punch myself in the face. I must have been insufferable.

I remember at the University of Liverpool many moons ago was a student who found an unlocked and unused room and declared it his “office”.

He wasn’t too keen on sharing it.

He’s now an academic.
