Your first moot?

vids 1-5

We got some of our first year students together to talk about what it's actually like being a law newbie. Watch the videos of the roundtable to see if they can set your mind at ease and give you some tips. (Watch the videos in order, from left to right!)

<movie>file=/video/newbieroundtable/Clip1-1a-new__City_Hi_bandwidth.flv|width=400|height=300</movie> See if you can identify with these fears!

Listen to Ali, Abeer, Verity and Clare talking about their reflections at the end of their first year on the LLB. Learn about:

  • The study'
  • Independence
  • Being a mature student
  • Going from full-time work back to education

Verity tries to convince that law isn't dry at all....The wisdom of sharing the workload with your friends. The joy of heated debate in tutorials. The scourge of the non-contributing peers. The fun of being able to think independently for once!

Scared about speaking out in tutorials?

<movie>file=/video/newbieroundtable/Clip2a-new__City_Hi_bandwidth.flv|width=512|height=384</movie>Man up!

Why choose City?

Trendy? Location? Employment prospects? My friends went there?

Is the LLB what you thought it would be?

<movie>file=/video/newbieroundtable/Clip4a-new__City_Hi_bandwidth.flv|width=512|height=288</movie>For better or for worse?

Hear about what's been tough, what subject has lit Verity's fire and how many other disciplines form part of the study of law.
