I don’t know much about him, other that the fact that he is very enterprising when it comes to exam questions at Nottingham
He is able to help us juniors get hold of actual exam questions I am not sure how he did that
He brags that he did not study at all during his time in Nottingham and yet he could get a 2:1 easily.
But he comes from a rich family, he’s from ACS

Their marketing team should hire you - Shearman's Ovaries - sounds like a real winner.

Why do you think local law schools have a cut-off and limited places? Its not merely a matter of resourcing. NUS and SMU and now SUSS coordinate closely with MinLaw on estimating the supply of entrants the market will allow, in setting the number of available spots in these schools.
But every year tons of people who cmi to local schools (or their parents), still die die wanna pay for an expensive law overseas at a lower tier school due to some long-obsolete misconception of prestige or pay or respectability.
Hence, overseas grads distort the fresh grad cohort numbers every year. MinLaw can only address so much at the supply side with the 2016 slashing of OSUs. They couldn't do it with the lousy Aussie unis due to the FTA. So you guys are left at the mercy of market forces because MinLaw's hands are tied. Anyways its a problem of your own making (collectively speaking, not you individually).
Your situation is a symptom of it. No interest or aptitude for law but still obstinately wanted to pursue an LLB course in a lousier school.
Nothing against overseas grads or anything - I think the slamming of OSUs vs local schools is immature, but generally speaking there is a very stark difference in employment outcomes and overall career trajectory of local grads + top UK uni grads vs lower tier UK or Aussie uni grads.
If you think you've no interest or aptitude, as others have said, just cut your losses and run.

Yea either NUS SMU SUSS or non at all. We don’t need overseas degrees to ruin the market

Heard many A&O lawyers asking if their pay will be bumped to Shearman’s US pay scale. I think it is fat hope? Anyone knows?

Not rly as they are counted into the total number of places in Uni every year so minlaw is able to have oversight
