Does Your Honour have a copy of the defendant's antecedents?

Two of our LLB students, Krystle Lewis and Yusupha Janko, entered the Essex Court Chambers Mooting Nationals this year. Thus far University of Bedfordshire has successfully completed two rounds when they defeated University of East Anglia and University of Cambridge.

It has taken months of work to have arrived at this stage but the journey is still far from complete. The team is currently awaiting word as to which team they must next face. If successful they will have to move through to another round with a new legal problem to argue.

Does your CV show what you’ve got or what others haven’t?

I met up with a friend of mine last week who asked me to look at her son’s CV.  He has a first in Natural Sciences and a distinction in his MSc in Aerospace Engineering.  He’s got some practical engineering experience in the UK and in India.  He’s personable, engaging and unable to show these qualities because he’s not getting interviews.  I’ll call him David.
