"As Country Legal Officer managing a range of legal issues across 190 branches, Sarah's job is by no means a low-stress job or a low-stakes one. However, every day that I come in to work, I see her smiling, no matter how much the work load or whatever the crisis, she is confident in her abilities and never lets anything get her down for long. In the workplace, her enthusiasm and passion makes her a breath of fresh air, helpful and proactive, her attitude is what sets her apart."

"I have known Sarah Farid since September 2011. I was her criminal law teacher in her first year at the London School of Economics & Political Science LLB Program administered through the University of London. I am a member of the Massachusetts and California Bars in the United States, and admitted to practice before the High Court of Sindh, Pakistan. Sarah entered the program via the graduate entry
route. She had successfully completed an undergraduate degree at Rice University.
Sarah is an intelligent and articulate student with excellent reading habits. She came to class prepared and was an active participant in class discussion. She took class presentations seriously and made the most of class time. Due to her rigorous preparation and meticulous reading of the textbook, she was able to secure the highest marks in the University of London Criminal Law Exam out of over 70 students in her class. Sarah is easily in the top 5% of her class academically and achieved good grades in almost all her subjects.
She is clearly an outstanding researcher. She qualified to represent our university at the prestigious KK Luthra Moot Court competition held annually at the University of Delhi, India. I had a chance to review the legal memorandum that she and her team mates prepared. It was succinct and well argued with plenty of citations from case law, statutes, and law review articles. The team worked in an organized and efficient manner and Sarah was able to read and use a variety of legal materials from various common law countries including India, United States and the UK in a short one month period. Their team qualified for the finals on the basis of their submitted legal memorandum, but unfortunately, their visas did not arrive on time.
She has a practical understanding of the law, and is able to use it in her various internships and work experiences. She has utilized her time as a law student exceedingly well and has completed internships with various law firms and institutions recognized both nationally and internationally.
Sarah is a thoughtful and compassionate person; I am confident that she will be a highly successful lawyer because of her strong work ethics, mature outlook, and her research and writing skills which I would qualify as top notch amongst her peers."
