    Does anyone know if HFW/HL/Stephenson Harwood is strict with their 2:1 requirement? I have confirmed a low 2:1 average. Most of my grades in second and final year had been mid 2:1 to first, just one blip in every year (core, one high 2:2, one 3rd). All my commercial law modules were at least...

    Thank you! Is there a difference between situational questions versus situational judgment questions? I saw some were quite similar to questions I normally see in SJTs, and asking me what I would do.

    Not really, but some Glassdoor reviews had said the questions cover competency, strength and situational.

    Hi all, does anyone know if CV should include all module grades? I am trying to finish my application for Dorsey, but they didn't mention whether the CV should include detailed breakdowns. Plus is there an impact if my CV goes beyond one page? Right now mine can stay at one-page as long as I...
