We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Anyway, save yourself the misery of doing an LL.M right after law school (the mistake that I made) and gather a few years of work ex. in a Tier 1 and then look at an LL.M. The chances of getting a good gig in the UK will increase.
Oxbridge usually takes the toppers.
But the others should be depending on the quality of your applications.
If you got the money and the means go for it. You will definitely benefit from the experience.
You won't be the first one to apply without work experience. Just do it.

Scholarship is different ball game, you will need to focus on your sop more and show why the uni should give you £20k.
Also, have a clear gameplan for what you want to do after your LLM
Have a chat with seniors from your uni who had done LLM straight after LLB
I would be glad if someone could realistically shed light on what chances I have of getting a good LLM offer from a foreign university for Fall 2024, specially without work experience. Thanks in advance
