Has anyone attended one before?

What are good topics for presentations- I understand the firm usually lets you choose...

Not law. Something you know quite a bit about, that you can answer questions on and that you have a genuine interest in. Recent controversial topics in the news? Something from your undergrad degree if not law... your thesis?

I've seen presentations about breaking in horses, 24 hour drinking and JoJo (it made him look like a pervert).

Presentations are also to find out if you are an interesting person, do a law one without being asked to makes you look like a bit of a geek.
