We know that there is more to acing your exams than just knowing the syllabus inside out. Yes, you need to know your stuff, but it is only half the battle when it comes to getting the grade you want. If you want to ensure that your hard work pays off when it comes to exam season, you need that bit of extra magic sauce. And that’s learning how to study effectively and then how to apply that knowledge to your exam questions properly.

We also know how hard it is to navigate the volume of information there is out there about finding the right career path for you…. Barrister or solicitor? When should you apply for Vac Schemes / Training Contracts? What type of firm would suit you? What if you can’t get any legal work experience? Which modules should you study?

We get it.

You have so many questions.

There are so many decisions to be made.

It’s overwhelming.

And if there is one thing law students don’t have… is a lot of spare time to be figuring this all out yourself.

That’s why we’ve created Answered Squad!

The Answered Squad is the place to be for aspiring lawyers. No matter what background you’ve come from, or where you want to end up, we’re here to help you turn your dreams into that reality. Because we know that (despite what you might read), there is no one way into a career in law. In fact, there are thousands of possible routes. The thing you need to work out is which is the right path for you.

Each month we will be diving into a topic on careers or study skills. These sessions are specifically designed for you by our team of qualified solicitors and our qualified legal career advisor to help you achieve better marks in your studies and build your perfect career in law.

Not only will we be sharing all of this, but you’ll also get the chance to ask any questions you want about your studies or your hunt for the right role.

THE DETAILS

Sessions are held on the third Tuesday of each month 6-7 pm UK time.
