How badly does the advocacy assessment have to go for you to fail?(Ulaw)
Thank you to you both. Re M&A post, sorry if I indiciated that the standard was lower at BPP. That was not what I meant. I heard how for their assessment, it is just a recording, and you do not compete against a fellow opponent(as is the case at Ulaw), therefore, for me at least, making it seem...- hrb_pg

How badly does the advocacy assessment have to go for you to fail?(Ulaw)
Hi Lisa, thx for answering. Few follow up questions if you have the time 1)- Is this for ULaw? I know the adv assessment at BPP is easier/less pressure 2) Your response is very reassuring! However, I stumbled and rushed the concluding remarks(as I was finished with time, so I assumed I had to...- hrb_pg

How badly does the advocacy assessment have to go for you to fail?(Ulaw)
Hi, did my advocacy assessment today. I think I made decent and relevant submissions but I feel as thought I stuttered or stumbled a lot especially when answering the judges question. Nerves. I also think I spoke a lot- judge said I spoke within the time limits and said I should finish. I...- hrb_pg

Do firms typically reimburse travel costs to open days?
Can't speak for open days but for interviews, 99% of firms have reimbursed me for travel expenses. Interestingly, one big firm didn't(their revenues are in the billions..) Best bet is to check up on their policies beforehand. Hope you enjoy the open days should you attend.- hrb_pg

If in an interview, you are asked how would you respond to a fellow trainee being rude to support staff, how would one approach that? My initial reaction is to chat to the trainee, and politely explain that their actions are impacting others, and perhaps if they reconsider what they say. Though...- hrb_pg

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi @Jessica Booker Would it be possible to get some clarification on this? Is the question assessing how I balance the needs of a trainee and a partner, or is it assessing communication with other team members? Thanks :)- hrb_pg

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
@Jessica Booker In a situational interview, I was asked a scenario question which stumped me at the time. Was wondering what your take is on this.. This was something along the lines of " You are a trainee at x firm, and your personal assistant is not completing any of your work that is...- hrb_pg

Two cycles ago, I applied to TS, got an interview for their VS, and I did the latter. If I recall correctly, it was a box type of answer(rather than submitting an attached cover letter), so I think Dear X is fine(certainly was in my case)- hrb_pg

Oh okay i see. Just to let you know, there’s a phone number contact on one of the recruitment pages for graduates (I’m not sure if this is firm wide or for the London office). Perhaps that’s the only line of contact we as candidates can have with Paul Hastings as of now? Thanks for letting me know.- hrb_pg
