Great video man , been applying to IBD internships and it’s been hectic , I like your approach to them by being relatively cool with them, I’m quite the opposite. Would love to know how you stay so calm for spring weeks , vacation scheme etc
No secret really… I think I’m just naturally quite an anxious person and I’ve learnt I have to tell myself to be calm over and over because that’s how I overcome the nerves.
It's an American case, but do you study Hawkins v. McGee at Cambridge?
No we don’t unfortunately… well not as of habit. It might be possible to study comparative contract law in some electives but I’m not totally sure. Thanks for the support!
@@jonnykyt Contracts is a staple in the first year of law school in the U. S. (it's a full-year course here). If you can find a late-70s U. S. film called "The Paper Chase", it's one I recommend that all law students watch at least once. It is a pretty good representation of how law was taught in the U. S. at the time of its release.
The case involves a suit against a doctor who was practicing skin grafting in its early days. He advertised guaranteed perfect results. A Mr. Hawkins sought out treatment for a damaged (Burned?) hand. The Dr. grafted skin from the back of his neck. The hand was healed, but the grafted skin grew hair. Mr. Hawkins sued and the rest is history, at least in the U. S.
This is actually fascinating! We have a similarly iconic case called Carlill v Carbolic Smokeball dating back to 1892. It’s all about a company which sold a flu medicine. It advertised that anyone who took the drug and still got flu would receive a £100 payout. A person did get the flu and tried to claim the money, but they refused to pay. The court compelled Carbolic Smokeball to make the payment as they had made a unilateral offer which was accepted by conduct.
