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?
I have experience of such applications and have finished very recently an LLM at one of the unis you mentioned. Regarding your consultancy question, I'll quickly address that here, as the answer to that is obvious in my view. Obviously you should be writing it on your own and shouldn't be getting a consultancy to do it for you, because that is unethical and could likely result in your application being invalidated (and even if you did you'd be behaving in a very foolish way, because the standard of such organisations is so poor that it is safe to assume guilt on the charge of being crap on part of a particular organisation without needing proof of anything to the contrary). Should you write on your own but get feedback? Naturally. But again, not from consultancies. Usually, a professor or alumni from your undergrad uni network would be best placed to help you but as that seems to be unavailable to you, I am happy to step in. I will, of course, not write anything for you. However, I am happy to talk you through any ideas you may have and to look over something like a draft if you have one ready to hand.
PS: Do respond here if you choose to write to the email address listed above. I check it rarely and therefore, may involuntarily delay in responding if not prompted to do so.
QMUL will take you if you can pay, the application is free
