The Impact of AI on Law Firms - a 5 Minute Guide
What LLB course options should you choose?
Has your uni already started asking you which subjects you want to study next year? We hope that you’re excited about what’s on offer!
Different institutions inform you of your choices in different ways. Perhaps they circulate some documents about it, or maybe they hold an option fair for you to go along and meet academics and students currently following their modules. Whatever the process make sure you engage!
How to be more productive with your time so you can do more than just study
Time management is a critical skill for law students - we all know that the coursework is extensive and the workload can be overwhelming, but it is also a key skill that law firms will be looking for when interviewing. By effectively managing your time, you can ensure that you have enough time to study, complete assignments, and still have some fun.
Will networking help you get a Training Contract?
The route to becoming a solicitor or barrister in the UK is a lengthy and competitive process, and we all know that competition for pupillages and TCs is not going to go away (if anything, it’s the opposite as we see layoffs from some city firms this year).
One thing that people always tell you to do when you say that you are applying for a TC is to make sure that you network… but is this busy work, or is it going to improve your chances of success?
Do lawyers need to be able to do maths?
We have lots of students tell us that they hate maths and that they’re no good at it. If that’s you then pause just a minute…. stay with us here. The bad news is that if you want to become a professional lawyer you certainly do need to have a basic level of numeracy. It would be a dreadful idea to tell an employer that you’re hopeless at maths and a very good idea to get yourself upskilled while you’re studying law.
Why You Need to Love Language and Words to Succeed as a Lawyer
When it comes to figuring out whether a career in law is right for you, many people don’t realise just how important a love of language and words are to having a successful career in law. This belief is definitely not helped by our favourite Netflix shows, where the “work” part of being a lawyer seems to be miraculously completed within the first 30 seconds of each new scene (who knows why Netflix doesn’t think that watching a lawyer draft contract isn’t riveting viewing?!).
We are looking for our next team of Student Advisors!
We have an experienced editorial team at Law Answered, but we’re always looking for bright students to give us feedback to improve our products. We want our guides to be the best they can be and to tell students what they really need to know for their exams - so that’s where our Student Advisors come in!
We are looking for student advisors who are currently studying the PGDL (or MA Law) and the SQE… apply now!

Law application tips
It’s a daunting but necessary task. Applying for legal jobs, vacation schemes, pupillages or traineeships takes a lot of time and sometimes a bit of trial and error. These tips are designed to help you think about your application from the perspective of the person who will ultimately be reading it.
What “commercial awareness” really means for law students
Effective firm research
So we all know that when you’re applying to firms, you must be able to carry out research about the firm, its clients and the work that they carry out. You also need to be able to research which firms you want to apply to and why.
There is such an amass of information on the internet that it can be overwhelming where to look, and to know what you’re looking for.
What’s the secret to getting a vacation scheme?
No surprises here: the first step in law is often research! If you’re looking for a vac scheme, start by researching firms that you think will be a good fit for you – both in terms of the areas of law they specialise in as well as their culture. Since application forms take time to fill out, it’s worth applying to a few firms that are more likely to be a good fit for you, rather than firing off generic applications to as many firms as possible.
