A procurator fiscal is a legal representative in Scotland who works under the Lord Advocate. They are responsible for investigating sudden deaths and crimes, as well as prosecuting cases in the sheriff or district court.

There’s been about a 30% increase nation wide in law school apps this school, I believe this may just favor larger institutions & I’m curious to see if schools begin to take in larger class sizes to compensate

@ronniedoeslaw: only if employers are willing to hire more lawyers, which seems doubtful. Schools dont want unemployed grads
class sizes appear to be staying the same

@NemoPropheta: don’t get down on yourself, that’s a dream score for many. The fact you’re scoring high on your PTs is a good sign. Do something today to relax and take your mind off of it. Probably subliminally showing how stressed you are about it, which is okay bc same
