Manchester meet this Saturday??? I thought it was in London.
Lol Broad Street. haha. Birmingham and York would be top picks considering law schools on the rank of the strength of their law school and employment prospects. Speaking to a few fellow law students, more law firms are now seeking out non law graduates for employment and training schemes.
QuicheFontaine and Phisheep are lawyers in training and lawyers. It may be very useful speaking to these two gaffers, considering they could have great insight into the way law firms operate on ranking universities for applications.
I was also surprised to learn from a few friends that little, if not nothing at all you learn on your law course is employed in the your law firm practice outside some specialisms and basic theorems.

I'm confused, is CHEEZMO a Disney property?

Comparing Birmingham's nightlife to that of London is like comparing Milka to Cadbury. It's nice but it ain't quite right.

Congrats on the offers! I'd definitely go and visit Liverpool, it's a great city, and the nightlife generally is fantastic if that's what your after.
Birmingham had a beautiful campus when I visited, absolutely huge to boot. York....the campus was visually offensive being full of concrete monstrosities, but I've no doubt as to the quality of the teaching there.
He could've been a few years ago but he matured.

Morning. I'll leave this here:
Yeah, York's campus certainly is NOT the prettiest. The campus I would be on, Heslington is damn pretty though.
I'll do some more research into Liverpool this weekend and go from there.
Absolutely pathetic is what it is.

Instantly put me in mind of Agent Smith "Humans are a virus" speech from the Matrix.
Cheers for the Uni tips guys.
As you know, I somehow scored unconditional with Bournemouth which is damn good and their actually pretty good too for Law.
Never been to the area of Bournemouth, how is it? I will definitely use it as my insurance choice. It looks like a beautiful place.

As I said via PM. If you want to do law, the older the university the better. York and Liverpool would both be good choices. Go Russell Group.
Going to a newer uni won't kill you, but if you do decide to work for a bigger firm you'll have a disadvantage against Oxbridge and Russell Group graduates. The application process at those firms is still very traditional.
If you're not bothered by that and there's something about a newer uni that resonates with you, that's fine. But be realistic.

Also, it's they're. Not their. Tighten up your drafting, trainee!
(Sorry, I'm actually reviewing a contract right now.)

Patent Attorney is only lawyer-ish, the name's a little misleading (although I think we fall under "Other Lawyers" under the Legal Services Act). The best way into the profession these days is to get a good science degree and then apply for trainee positions (you'll see quite a few firms advertising positions for recent science graduates). If you don't get on one of those, you can always do a postgrad degree in IP Law - that's what I did.
Sploatee and Phisheep are way more proper lawyers than me, so I'll leave it to them.
Edit: I see Sploatee has already replied!
You don't have the capacity for twattishness Sploat.
I'm probably incredibly late with this, but I thought it was worth posting:

It's nothing particularly special. It's just an office job with extra pressure.
Everyone has such cool jpbs.
Being a lawyer (at least the type of lawyer I am) is nothing particularly special. It's just an office job with extra pressure.
Watch it, David. I have been known to use very forceful language on occasion.
Buh'a
In Manc nobody says "like that". Its always la'at or la'a.
