remember
If anything happens and the law soc finds out it could stop you getting a practicing certificate or revoking one. Maybe try the ethics helpline at law soc??

LawSoc has an *ethics* helpline.

I work in investment banking, and that makes even me laugh :)

Fantastic thanks!
Weather was a bit shit after Woolacombe and I think I buggered my knee up on the cliff walk, but all in all it was incredibly relaxing.

I quit my law degree after 2 years
so I'm not worried about future law practice. I'm mostly worried that if I do take it they'll find out and prosecute me for theft, plus make me pay back all my tuition fees. But if I return the money to them they could still make me pay back my tuition.

OH WHAT DO I DO?!

You say you quit that job AFTER two years
And "They did make me sign something at the time I started the degree to say that I would pay it back if I left the firm within 2 years". Therefore, they can't make you pay it all back.

Taking the £400 would be considered at best minor theft. If I were you I'd write a letter to your old firm, explaining that you've had this uni letter (enclose a copy of it), that you left after two years of employment there (no need to specify the signed clause, just say you worked there over 2 years), and let them chase their money.

It's usually "leave within 2 years of leaving the course"

That's what I thought, but her quote says otherwise.
It's why I turned down doing a Masters paid by my company, it locks me down to this place for too long.

yeah it was like this
I worded it badly. I jacked the degree in after 2 years of doing it, but I left the firm within 4 months of doing that.

Bad wording is why you'd have never made it as a Law Woman Type
Shame on you.
