About me:
I’m currently studying the Bar Training Course at Manchester Metropolitan University, building on a strong foundation that includes an LLM in Criminal Justice and a string of advocacy successes in national moots and tribunal work. Next year I will begin my pupillage with the Crown Prosecution Service, where I’ll be combining my passion for public service with the practical courtroom skills I’ve honed through mini‑pupillages and pro bono representation. Along the way I’ve mentored student advocates and edited case‑law updates, so I know how transformative clear guidance and structured feedback can be for aspiring barristers. I’m open to mentoring because I want to pay that support forward—helping others navigate the BTC, secure pupillage, and thrive at the criminal Bar.

About me:
I am a mature student (having had done two undergraduate degrees - one in comparative literature and then law) and will start my training contract in 2026. I am of Pakistani and Turkish heritage and I am accustomed to the struggles of applying with an international background. However, the same way that I managed to succeed in securing a training contract, I’d like to assure candidates from similar backgrounds that it’s very doable. I actively work in the tutoring and admissions space and believe in the transformative value of finding the right kind of support. I would be delighted to help support candidates in their legal journeys and to demystify the TC process.

About me:
I'm a law graduate with experience in legal tech, academia, law firms, and consulting. My expertise lies in corporate M&A/Private Equity, investment funds, and tax. I've been through the vacation scheme application process with US firms myself, and while I made use of both paid and free career resources- including private coaching- I often found the advice to be too abstract or generic to be genuinely helpful for someone going through the process for the first time. I’m here to offer specific, practical tips on how to approach applications and perform well in interviews — the kind of guidance I wish I’d had when I started. If you want to be my mentee, please feel free to email me at: melekredzheb@gmail.com.
