Dear seniors,

With respect to the Part B electives, I have two questions:

1. Should I pick one that I知 more interested in (eg ACP), or one that I知 more likely to excel in (eg IPP)?

2. If I知 interested in corporate work, and would like to keep my options open during/after my litigation TC, how important is it to do ACP? Do firms/employers view those who take ACP more favourably for corporate practice positions?

Thanks!

I will say it doesn稚 matter. what you learn in sch or sile you will not apply much when you work.

working life is about managing bosses and clients. the soft skills. and whether you can bring in deals from early on.

I have seen incredibly bright trainees and fresh associates stuck in their desk bound existence for decades.

not to brag but I was made partner even before some of my peers are made senior associates. this year my firm is letting some bright ones go for simple reason they act as if they are like students...

To be fair, the thread mostly talks about life in big4 and smaller firms, not MC and US firms

Bright trainees stuck there for decades, you being made partner in less than 3 years... Oh, give me a break.

I am the OP of this post. The only reply made sounds very doubtful. Any seniors can weigh in on this please? Thanks.

In part B, it is not that easy to excel given that the results is pass, fail and very few distinction.

I will say that if you are doing corporate work of cos it will be better that you have done ACP. You can find the issue easier and know where to look for answer and the law. However, if you are doing corporate work without any knowledge of ACP, i will not say it will be unfavourable, but rather you will need to spend more time finding and researching the answer.

You should know that working in a department without any prior knowledge will be very stressful and taxing on yourself end of the day. If you are in firms that are very busy and squeezy, i dont think you will have the extra time and effort to read up everything from scratch.
