From a career standpoint, a BCL or LLM is meaningless outside of litigation, which you may be, but the more important consideration is that you have already started your career and you are at a crucial stage where you should focus on padding up your CV. If you hit the 3 or 4 year mark and all you have are small to mid size firms on your CV, you are nearing a dead end.
A poster above mentioned that B4 teams are bleeding people, this is very true. Go ahead and apply. I am confident you will get in if you have a FCH as you say. |
Of course everyone knows that “delisted” is a proxy but ask yourself: is there any alumni you can think of off-hand who graduated from a delisted school who went to any of the schools mentioned above? If not, please do not give unrealistic expectations. There is optimism and there is cruel and false optimism. All of us can think off-hand of some alumni off-hand from Oxbridge,
NUS and KCL/UCL who did the BCL or an LLM from Harvard.
Your point on Big 4 is correct though. They are bleeding at the moment and no harm even as a delisted FCH to apply to one of those.
