Law Actually: Valentine’s Day Gifts

Valentine’s Day Gifts

Forget flowers, chocolates or lingerie. How about a “Hug-Ya” cushion?

But why’s the female version wearing a Marigold glove? Don’t tell me it’s for the washing up. A bit sexist, isn’t it? Surprised smile

Or how about this robo-snog device – perfect for those long distance relationships.

And who said romance was dead? Humans really are a disturbed species!

Life as a Law Student

Despite the popular perception that life as a law student is cushy -- that we have not a care in world outside of the occasional lecture on law -- the truth couldn't be further removed. Law students get a lousy deal in all honesty. We don't spend our days skulking in bed, nor do we sit in front of a screen stagnating, forming permanent attachments to the controllers of Xbox 360s. Competition in law is among the highest of any discipline. So aside from uni work, getting out there and experiencing work placements with law firms or undertaking mini-pupillages are essential from an early stage. Juggling this with a demanding degree is no mean feat. Law students mostly struggle through uni with the knowledge that getting a training contract could be many painful and expensive years away. Many take out loans which in truth they can't afford, all just to see them through the LPC or BVC - qualifications which are as financially expensive as they are emotionally traumatic. And all this suffering, to spend years, perhaps, paralegaling or worse, waiting for that elusive training contract or pupillage to turn up.
And to what end? So you can finally call yourself a worthy member of the most despised profession on earth. Still want a career in law? Yeah, of course you do.
