Is it optional to go into the office? Or are they saying you have to? This is definitely personal preference I feel, I wouldn't want to go in just yet because I don't want to take public transport but it differs from person to person!

Just received Mishcon case study! Does anyone know what to expect? Or how best I can prepare for a case study? Haven’t done one before so any general advice in case studies would be really appreciated!
Hi, how did the case study go? I've never done one either so would love to hear about your experience at Mishcon!
Yikes. I certainly wouldn't be comfortable doing that (without being vaccinated), but as others have said it's really down to personal preference.
I think that's a little unfair considering the country is still in national lockdown and people are only supposed to be going into the office when they can't do work at home or for wellbeing reasons (which I don't think applies here as interviews can be held by video) but again hopefully you're in a position where you can go in and smash this interview!
There was talk of a firm saying an interview was at their office because they hadn't updated the email from previous cycles. Could this be the case?

Hey - just thought I'd hop on. I did the Mishcon case study in 2018 and got through to the final interview. If you know their practice areas off-by-heart (with a rough idea of what they all do), as well as apply some common sense and close reading of the document, you should be fine!

So sorry to hear this. Hopefully you received good news from elsewhere! Can I ask what the feedback was?
Oh I thought there were 16 offers? 10 for London 6 for Reading. Where did you read 10?
Hi guys wanted to ask if anyone knew if it’s okay to put on the work experience section for X law firm app about your upcoming vac schemes at a different firm/s. Is this okay to show you’re a serious candidate etc or do law firms not like it cos it’s a diff firm? Thanks 🙏🙏
Personally, I wouldn't put in work experience I hadn't done yet. So, I'd definitely include a vacation scheme I've completed but not one that's coming up. That's just my personal opinion.
Thank you appreciate the reply. I guess I also forgot to say if it’s a direct TC app I would prefer to show that I’ll have some relevant city law work experience by the time I join X firm for their direct tc rather than nothing at all and ofc I would say “incoming...” to show I haven’t done the experience yet. @Jessica Booker would be useful to get your advice on this. Thank you
