Week 1

So the first week of class is finally over. It’s been surprisingly hectic. First we had loads of pre-reading and for every small group discussion we had a scary amount of preparation and research to be handled (up to about 3-4 hours or prep work per subject).

We also had a introductory advocacy session which was fun! Amongst all the busyness, at least there’s still always time for food (as pictured HAHA).

I find that the most important thing is to remind myself that I’m thankful for where I am today, and this opportunity that has been given to me :)

BPTC HELP ADVICE

1. If the Whitebook is too daunting for you to read then use buy the 'BPTC Revision' by Gillian Woodworth as your base and write whatever extra notes you need from the Whitebook there.

2. For the Criminal Procedure Exam, read Blackstones. Point blank, write all the important points you need from Blackstones because 100% of the questions will come verbatim from the book and it will be that minor point that you thought was unimportant.

3. For Professional Ethics (it was still an exam in the BPTC when I took it) the key is to get the gist of the rules and quote the 10 codes verbatim. But APPLY it to your answer to actually get the mark. So if it's a 5 mark question I'm expected to write 10 points and maybe 3-4 will hit the mark.

*For any extra advice feel free to hmu. I completed and passed the Bar in England and Wales in 2019*

Yesterday I had the honour of meeting Lady Brenda Hale. The first female Law Lord in the House of Lords, Deputy President of the Supreme Court, and President of the Supreme Court. She's a trailblazer for women in law, an excellent legal mind and a total inspiration. #LadyHale #BPTC #BPTCLLM #lawstudent #womeninlaw https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-WEeGn5fD/?igshid=1quzw5w3dw7yr

Finally has my first Inn weekend and qualifying sessions @ Lincoln’s Inn. After a tiring weekend of talks, formal dinners and panel discussions, it’s back to work we go! Rushing for a packed week ahead with advocacy and multiple SGS classes to prepare for! Let’s hope I last through the week!

Hope y’all are doing great!

The beginning

flights booked, visa done, schedule out and bags packed. here’s to the beginning of the bar (which I plan to try my best to document here for personal record, unless it actually does help someone one day). excited, scared (mostly), and ready for a new season.
