Jess and Seren's Resources

  • Books

    Jess:

    • I found that Letters to a Law Student by Nicholas J McBride is good as a first introductory book, just to find out about the process of applying. 
    • What about Law? by Barnard, O’Sullivan and Virgo is really interesting in terms of getting a taste for what the course may be like and gives some good substantive stuff for personal statements and interviews too.
    • Eve was Framed by Helena Kennedy is just incredible in general, but again gives a lot to talk about on applications.
