    Thank you so much for keeping up the great work! I'm very interested in how you published articles in law journals. I know that it is not really leading in the polls, but I'd like to ask you to keep it as an option for your polls. 💪

    Great video Gordon, took away some really really useful tips! One thing I thought of sharing is perhaps "screen recording" ur Mac for such contents. If you are using Mac, you could use "QuickTimePlayer" (should be pre-installed on ur Mac) - - > file - - > New screen recording. Looking forward to checking out more great contents from you!

    Hey Gordon I wanted to ask should you do LPC/ SQE first then training contract or apply for training contract and do the training contract and the LPC/ SQE at the same time?

    Ideally, it would be great if you secure a TC first as they may sponsor you to do the relevant course

    Very true, but sometimes if you find a topic interesting, try to search the same title on google as other platforms may publish articles on similar topics!
