MoFO eligibility

Hi all,

I am a final-year law student who is rather confused about my eligibility to apply to the MoFo vacation scheme. On their recruitment site, it states:

"If you are currently a law student, you should apply in the penultimate year of your law degree."

I am unsure as to whether this means I cannot apply, or whether I will be disadvantaged in applying now. I cannot find their grad rec contact anywhere so thought I would ask here.

I think it might suggest a disadvantage but I am not really sure. I think that the best thing is to reach out to future trainees on LinkedIn and ask them directly as I think they will be able to tell you more about this.
