    White & Case cover letter questions. Any advice on writing 1,000 words? It feels longer than last year. Tips on structure greatly appreciated - thanks.

    A question about a few firms - when did people hear last year? From Hogan Lovells post-Watson Glaser test; from King & Spalding post-application; from Fried Frank after applying there; after applying to Paul Hastings TC; from White & Case post-TC app? Thank you so much in advance.
