Magic circle law firms
So I'm waiting on an offer from Warwick and have an offer from Nottingham for law, both unis feature frequently in the list of top unis for MC firms. However, Durham seems to be higher than both for MC trainees and I wanted to know will it put me at a massive disadvantage that I didn't apply for Durham and will an MC firm look at a Durham applicant with a similar portfolio to me and choose them because of the uni they went to?

Warwick I believe as it ranks higher
It will be no/next to no disadvantage at all.
But also don't obsess about what MC firms want (or what you think they want), there are hundreds of firms out there that all offer differing opportunities and advantages/disadvantages, the MC are merely 5 of them (and come with many disadvantages of their own)

I wouldn’t even worry about getting into Magic Circle - there around 50 elite law firms in London that are more profitable than MC so the whole concept of MC is not what it used to be.

This will have no bearing on your application. I know Clifford Chance even does it university blind now.
