I had reached 2nd stage for a training contract in January this month but today received an email telling me I’d not made it to the 3rd. Which is a shame because that was the last application I had on the fire. It looks like I shall be repaying my student debt at Birds Eye.
I […]

I spent three years and 48 agonising hours waiting for this news. People who trot this out day in day out are dicks, but I think we’re all allowed to use it once, so here we goes.
As of 5:00pm Friday 8th June 2007, My new name is:

Mr Daniel William Patrick Cooper L.L.B. (Hons) […]

It’s an odd sensation, being (albeit tangentially) within the news rather than merely viewing it, but Wednesday night I was called by Gary, a friend with deep connections to the Labour party; asking if I wanted to go to London on Friday. Frankly I wasn’t in the mood to talk, I was cramming for my […]

I only ever write here now to procrastinate. I’m currently avoiding an essay on how trusts law is gender biased toward women. You heard me right – I’m writing a feminist piece, Lord have mercy upon me.
Last week our seminar leader warned that the professor setting the exam I had yesterday would engage in his […]

An academic of mine this week posted a synopsis for his essay that we could puzzle over before we get our marks back on Friday. For those who didn’t take an essay-intensive subject, this is effectivley being given a vague idea of the answer before you find out if you were right or not. The […]

[Warning - Word Vomit ahoy!]
As I hurtle ever closer to May 2nd and the first of four exams which will determine my fate and the structural integrity of my private parts, I am gripped with exam-based stress. Trying to cram an entire year’s worth of law (and for one subject, 2000 years or so of […]

So where have I been, you ask yourselves in your numerous one-ness?
Well, because it’s “That time of the year again” – I’m currently trying to headbutt my way down the usual 14,000 words worth of work to do by the end of the Term. Ideally, I’d have nothing but those to do, but the usual […]

[EDIT - This descends into ranting very, very quickly. Avoid if sensitive]
As any law student will know, January to March is the period in which the deadlines close for Application forms for Vacation placements. I’m not sure how many Law-y people I have reading this, so for the uninitiated, I’ll explain;
Unlike jobs in CS and […]

Well, it’s been a couple of days, and in those days I’ve been working. Hard. I’m a normal functioning member of society, and there’s no one who can say otherwise. Fact.
Two major things have been on my mind, and two others, which I’m going to list.
The first is that I’ve spent day after […]

I’ve just come back from Euan (Big Lens’ Art Editor)’s house where we put the final touches (proofreading, organising etc) into the first Big Lens of the year. It’s pretty spectacular. I really do have one of those “good feelings” (Cue theme from The Towering Inferno ) that this will be Big Lens’ […]
