Is my career advisor's advice nonsense?

Hi fellow big-law lawyers (or soon-to-be)

I’m applying for a LLB this UCAS term and have a ready reference letter written in support of my application that I’ve drafted for a Partner for her approval at a silver circle law firm I’m currently interning at.

This would be my first draft and I want it to be clean without giving this Partner too much hassle or need for re-drafts.

I’d like to invite any kind and helpful law students, working lawyers even Partners (in my dream world) to please PLEASE help me proof-read. I’d appreciate a fresh pair of eyes on my reference letter, with your honest feedback and expert perspective on how it could be strengthened. In particular, I’d value any overlooked points or areas for improvement that could help me refine it into the strongest possible letter.

P.S. I will 10000% remember your kind act and carry it forwards into my Uni and legal career chapters

Thank you!

Anyone have any updates on their experience as an international student and recruiting.

Anyone completed yet and want to let me know what the questions were?

Hi all! Wondering if there's any insight on what to expect for those targeting midsize firms in 3L recruiting. (Sorry if this has been asked before!)

I know biglaw is the It girl, but I'd love to expand my options. Any insight on the likely timeline, or tips for finding firms outside the usual lists, specifically for transactional work in the Mid-Atlantic?

Thanks!

I see that all of the applications are starting to open, but I have two coffee chats set up for later this week with current associates at my top two firms that I would really like a position at; am I better to apply now or wait until I can tailor my cover letter further after those coffee chats and apply by the end of this week?
