    Man, I'm a bit confused. I thought they don't assess applications on a rolling basis, yet I haven't received anything from them yet so now I am worrying that they did and I applied too late LOL

    kinda confused too, didn't even think people were interviewing yet since the deadline was march 31st
    I'm fairly certain that they are not recruiting on a rolling basis, as I submitted my application very close to the deadline myself. The interview invite was sent out last week, the interview itself was yesterday and the VS invite came today. They might be sending out interviews in batches like some other firms do, but quite frankly I have no idea as I haven't been able to find much online.

    That's the fastest I've ever seen a law firm conduct their application process hahaha
