Do you know if they send out interview invites/offers for summer? I didn't find anything on here...

It’s automatic. Received mine the day after I sent my application for the DTC. Possible there could be slight delays since the deadline is tomorrow and a lot of people apply last minute.
if im emailing a firm that I have a WVS interview with to ask if they can move my interview for consideration for the spring scheme, as I already have another WVS, do you think its better to email and move the interview or wait to see if I get an offer, and then ask to defer the offer?
Based on RG uni like Warwick, your LLB is first and LLM is 2:1. For more details you can visit:
• Turkey: https://warwick.ac.uk/study/international/admissions/entry-requirements/turkey
• USA: https://warwick.ac.uk/study/international/admissions/entry-requirements/usa (consistent across uni board)
I think you can email the GR team to clarify, as long as you can attach a valid reference, not just word of mouth of the grading system. Usually, they will accept what most uni standard used like.

For the Mishcon chat interview can you have your notes open at the same time as typing the answers?
Hi everyone!
When video interview/ app answers ask about recent developments that could affect clients, I want to make sure I’m focusing on the right kinds of news.
In your experience, what are the most relevant types of updates to draw on for these questions? For example, do you usually reference things like regulatory changes, shifts in interest rates, major geopolitical developments, new industry-specific regulations, or broader market/economic trends?
But more specifically: which current topics do you think are most value-adding to bring up in an interview?
I’d love to hear what you personally look out for or any go-to sources you use to stay prepared. Any insight would be much appreciated @Abbie Whitlock
@Andrei Radu
Thank you so much!

It will most likely be after the deadline. They look at the applications on a rolling basis but they review all applications before making decisions.
There is a Video explaining this. They mention that Open days and Virtual Work Experiences are equally important to display your proactiveness and commitment to commercial law. Thus, I'm making a separate sub-heading for it.
Also can someone confirm if there is time in between the chat and VI answers? e.g can I do the chats in PJs and have enough time to wear a shirt for the vI section?
I think they record you throughout the whole time
