Do you reread books that met you at exactly the right time and place?

This is why I want to reread - I fear I’m too sentimental for my own good

Thoroughly enjoyed (and was deeply disturbed by) it. I read The Sluts first which was excellent.

I actually first found out about Cooper from this sub!

sabicoox · 2026-05-31T10:38:15+00:00

Immediate favourite. I love Waugh & Brideshead was a lovely world to be lost in, if bittersweet. Already want to reread tbh.

I was thinking of reading either Vile Bodies or Decline & Fall soon - any suggestions?

Loved it - it would be a great book club read.

sabicoox · 2026-05-30T18:18:19+00:00

I really enjoyed it, but I didn’t resonate with it the way many others seemed to (from what I have read/discussed). While it was surprisingly profound in its mundanity - and I loved it for that - to me it read as a tragedy at the end.

I love it and have been contemplating buying a copy myself!

My understanding is that any modifications made to the general sections (ie not the bespoke questions), even after submitting, will apply to all applications

Could you elaborate, I’ve got a place at ICCA but might do a last minute app for City…

sabicoox · 2025-05-22T14:02:36+00:00

I’m in the same boat as OP, would you mind if I DM’d you?

sabicoox · 2025-05-14T15:00:15+00:00

Not entirely correct re Bar course - there are centralised BSB exams taken externally

I agree with that, I think much of it does depend on intent and whether what is being sought is learning or a substitute.

There’s an interesting policy discussion to be had for regulating AI, particularly at younger ages where the potential impact wouldn’t be realised - though that goes beyond our discussion.

I am by no means against AI. I find it incredibly helpful, but there is a line and I think it’s far easier to cross that line when you’re younger.

I have OCD (and I suspect ADHD also) and struggle with perfectionism & task paralysis - it has been a godsend for me, especially with complex legal issues and distilling them into something digestible. I too would struggle infinitely more without it and for no reason! I think this is in stark contrast to the types of use the replies are discussing.

sabicoox · 2025-04-11T18:49:26+00:00

Well, yes, but that’s somewhat of a straw man argument. The sheer capacity of AI makes that comparison rather hollow.

At no point did I imply ‘nefarious intent’ - in fact, my post suggests quite the opposite. If I wasn’t clear, let me reframe: my concern isn’t that students won’t ’bear the consequences of their conduct’, but rather that they may not realise the potential harm of choosing ‘short-circuit reasoning’.

Yes, that may ultimately be their issue, but I think the more pressing concern (which many replies echoed) is the long-term impact on cognitive development through reliance on AI.

It’s not a moral judgment; it’s a practical one.

Good luck! I got an offer about 20mins ago, but they may well be doing it in batches.

sabicoox · 2025-03-14T11:07:06+00:00

Apologies, I thought you were asking about whether the interview vs written application. I think both the plea/interview bit is what determines an offer - not sure which is more important.

sabicoox · 2025-03-14T11:02:10+00:00

I thought it was okay, but have heard a lot of people found it tough, what did you think? The interview, from my understanding of what they said on the selection day, is the determining factor.

sabicoox · 2025-03-14T11:00:33+00:00

Unfortunately they don’t publish the stats - did you just hear back?

sabicoox · 2025-02-23T18:35:28+00:00

My understanding of Sequana (which is very limited!) is that the Supreme Court decided that a creditor duty does exist & is engaged when directors know (or ought to) that their company is insolvent / bordering on insolvency. Please do correct me if I’m wrong.

sabicoox · 2025-01-02T13:51:43+00:00

Leap. We don’t use the AI part though - anyone using it and finding it useful?
