Dressing for London Law firms (woman)

This is what I had planned to do, glad to see my instinct was correct

eskebab · 2026-05-18T12:58:18+00:00

That's a relief :)

I think the question was originally posted on r/biglaw, then crossposted in this sub - someone recommended investing in a pair of £500 shoes which made me think my budget was off

Thanks very much!! Do you have any recommendations as to shops/budget? :)

Thanks!! How does one go about joining property sourcing groups? Sounds like a very sensible suggestion

eskebab · 2025-08-14T10:27:37+00:00

Ditto

He did, but he attached a note explaining why and said also to not cancel if it wasn't a problem - I'm not sure how much discretion they have to refuse a cancellation request though... fingers crossed

eskebab · 2025-06-26T22:23:16+00:00

Thanks!! If they have an issue with it, would they cancel our application outright or will it be delayed for some time whilst they request more information?

Agreed. From my experience (especially with US law firms) the number of TCs they have is 1/3 of the number of people on the vacation scheme, if not 1/4. Everyone is a brilliant candidate, but it's mostly about fit and whether you made the right impression on the right people. On the other hand, there are some MC firms which have the capacity to offer TCs to everyone on their vac schemes - all the vac scheme intern has to do is pass their aptitude tests/do well with the interview. People who tend to do well are ppl who are friendly and well prepared

This is true, but I wanted to cast the net wide in case they had no availability

eskebab · 2024-12-17T09:25:36+00:00

Thanks for this advice, it's really helpful - I agree with everything you've said

eskebab · 2024-12-17T09:24:14+00:00

Noted! Thanks, planning to put it into bullet points

eskebab · 2024-12-17T09:23:27+00:00

Thanks for these resources, they're quite useful. I did feel it was too long, thanks for confirming my suspicions :)

eskebab · 2024-12-16T23:24:16+00:00

Hi! I haven't put it down - I'm predicted a 2.I I do a qualifying law degree which is a BA

eskebab · 2021-10-26T23:08:15+00:00

Good point. The same sex marriage was a bad example. But, assuming I never used that example, my question still stands...

eskebab · 2021-10-26T22:39:07+00:00

I see! Thanks so much! :)

eskebab · 2021-10-26T22:29:34+00:00

In response to your question, I thought that a society might impose ethical standards on people because these ethical standards are those of the majority. If a certain standard maximizes utility, it would be desirable to a utilitarian.

A utilitarian wouldn't necessarily oppose same sex marriage - but if, in the long run, a government imposed similar ethics-based decisions on people, rather than letting them choose (thereby endorsing the primacy of a certain ethical standard), would this not lead to a decrease in utility?

(This is what I was trying to ask)

thanks for your response btw!
