I expected the online resources to be excellent – they have been. I expected the teaching to be of a high quality – it is. But I didn’t expect to make so many friends so quickly, nor to actually look forward to attending workshops after a hectic day at work. It’s a testament to the environment created by staff and students alike.
I really enjoyed the amount of advocacy we got to do , and that’s something that’s really spurred me on and put me in good stead for pupillage.
