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.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Any individuals who do freelancing as well would help.
Thank you!
▮▮▮. Actually do some hard work on your own. Apply your brains yourself. Don't rely on anybody. The kinds of people whose help you want are largely con artists or scammers. They are no more than glorified paper pushers. Often, you get wrong advice from them or they give you false hope to try something which you'll regret later. I'm giving you this advice to save you time because, if you are remotely intelligent, you'd be able to figure this out yourself and would realise when you sat in front of somebody like this that they are no help at all and just glorified people with nothing better to do in life. Therefore, I hope this is helpful in saving you time. Just do the hard yards yourself. Trust me, if you are genuinely good, it works and you get to go to that good foreign uni.
PS: I understand this post may have been written in a hurry and therefore may have not been thought out very well, resulting in the poor wording, but there is a chance it could be something much worse. That is why I ask: moderators, seriously!? You are publishing a post which asks if people can be recommended who can "draft their SOPs and application essays"? So you are effectively publishing something that might be, I say might be, a carelessly worded request for help with something standard, but again might be a request to help with something dishonest and unethical? Have you spent half a second to think how this would look to a non-lawyer coming to this website? What happened to upholding the public's confidence in the legal profession? Even if the post had been poorly worded because of poor thinking, doesn't the public interest in not publishing this nonsense (or at least in applying a troll tag to it) far outweigh anything else? Even if this had been poorly worded due to inadequate thought, the average Stella or James on the street will wonder, "What kind of law graduate doesn't know the difference between 'draft their SoPs and application essays' and 'advise students on improving the quality of their writing by looking at drafts of SoPs and application essays'?".
