Feeling Lost in the Commercial Awareness Buzz?

Do you sense that there’s more to a story—something you’re not quite getting—and worry that it might show in interviews?

You’re not alone.

Every day, aspiring lawyers face a flood of headlines that barely scratch the surface—leaving you frustrated, unsure of what’s real, and wondering if you’re missing crucial insights that firms actually care about.

I started How It Happened because I was tired of feeling that way.

• ❌Tired of the dots never connecting.

• ❌Tired of walking away with more questions than answers.

• ❌Tired of feeling like I didn’t really understand what was happening.

If reading the news makes you feel the same way, you’re in the right place.

What Makes How It Happened Different?

Most outlets only summarise key events, offering surface-level analysis at best.

To truly understand what’s going on, you have two choices:

1. Do your own research—digging through countless sources, cross-checking facts, and piecing things together yourself.

2. Let someone else handle it—and provide you with a crystal-clear picture of why something is happening and how it affects the rest of the world.

This is exactly what we do at How It Happened. See for yourself:
