I’d pick whatever works best for you in terms of dates.

Hi guys,

Posting this on Breezy’s behalf as he is currently on a Spring VS, so isn’t active on this account at the moment. I am a close friend of his and he has trusted me to manage his account until he comes back from his VS.

Breezy has received a first-round interview invite from Paul Hastings for their Phirst Steps SVS. Does anyone have any advice or insight into this interview? For reference Breezy said he applied 1-2 days before the deadline.​

Did anyone else apply for HCR Law? I just got a first round interview but it mentions that the AC, If successful is in Cheltenham, not sure if this is a mistake on my part where I applied, or if theyre all there

I think they’re all there

When is your interview?

 

[floral.tcla]

I haven’t got a VS so I’m seeking other options and I’m sure many of you are too, eg the legal cheek virtual vacation scheme. I’ve been getting emails from Platforum9 about virtual, free legal career experience they apparently offer but idk it seems fishy. Idk how they even got my email address. I was wondering if anyone else has received it?

Did you get the email about still sorting through the shortlist?

Guys, for written exercises, is it okay to write "executive summary" as the first subheading? Or does it seem too rehearsed?

 

[aspiringcitylawyer]

Hi! I was just wondering what everybody’s personal thoughts and opinions are on this:
If you have got upcoming VSs, are you still applying to DTCs to hedge your bets or do you prefer to focus on preparing for and converting your VSs (and take some rest from applications as well)?
