For White & Case’s question, “Please use the space below to provide details of any careers events you have attended (e.g. insight days, workshops, presentations etc.). These do not need to be White & Case specific. (Max. 350 words)”:
(a) What structure should I follow?
(b) Can I refer to...
CMS PFO almost immediately after submitting. I submitted on an evening, and got rejected the next morning. I was wondering if they have already filled the position because this has never happened to me before and I have not seen anything massively wrong with my app. Unless they review them...
Thanks, Kristy — that’s really helpful.
Just to confirm, when you say I’m allowed to list third-party open-access events, does that also include events hosted by peer firms? I wasn’t sure whether these count as acceptable third-party events or whether they need to be Willkie-exclusive.
Thank...
Hi Abby,
Thank you very much for this structure — it’s been really helpful.
I was wondering what your view is on “opportunity” and how we should present it. For example, I’ve identified a regulatory reform as my commercial issue, which is highly relevant to one of Ashurst’s core practice...

Just trying to prepare myself mentally because it sounds too good to be true so any thoughts...
Hi!
First of all, good luck with your application! Second of all, would you mind sharing what kind of tests you received?
I only received a pure STJ without a VI or WG for the Open Day. I am so confused because, after talking to my acquaintances and other applicants, everyone seems to have...
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to make a helpful suggestion real quick!
I have been seeing a lot of info around the Latham VI. Some people have written on the forum that it is competency based, other say it consists of STJ questions. Also, there are differing accounts of how much time one has...
Hi there, this is vey good insight! Thank you for this! Did you yourself take it recently and have this info or is it individual research? I am a bit surprised because all these years it has been competency based mainly so it would be good to know if they have changed the question format to...
Yes, I got the same as you actually thats why I was wondering haha. the fact that last year you got an interview 4 days later than everyone is somehow reassuring so thanks for the info it helped!
First of all, Congrats! Would you mind giving a bit of info on your background for example overall grade, RG, non-RG. I understand if you don't wish to share. I achieved similar scores but have not received yet a VI that's why I was wondering. Thank you
