Two great results on Wednesday evening: 1. Team BVL didn't come last in the London Solicitors Litigation Association's charity quiz. 2. The quiz raised important funds for BVL and will help to improve social mobility in the legal profession.

Acceptance of failures / unusual training biographies. There was/is too much of a focus on 1st class degrees, LLMs at red bricks, well-digging, orphanage-erecting or NGO-building. Some can't afford these detours, or have commitments making them impossible. Often very rounded people & great lawyers.
