    @Jessica Booker I attended a remote AC recently. I was supposed to join a 15-minute Zoom call right after my associate/HR interview. However my internet crashed right after the interview - I panicked for a bit and by the time I got it back up the 15 minutes was up. I emailed grad rec after...

    Hiya, I was wondering when you applied, when you sat for the WG and when did you sit the AC? Also do you by any chance know whats the percentage of candidates they take from direct TC vs their vac schemes? I managed to get fast tracked to an AC through gaining a place on HL Lift Off but I opted...

    I just bombed a VI for a spring vac scheme because I was caught off guard by how long the questions were. For each question here were essentially two subquestions (e.g. why commercial law + skills needed by a commercial lawyer and how you've demonstrated them) but I had to fit my answer within 1...

    Been seeing quite a few people receiving video assessment invites from Clyde & Co. I sat their video assessment for the winter vac last year. Didn't get progressed to AC but happy to give you a rough overview of what to expect (without giving away the questions, of course). I couldn't really...

    I just submitted mine too and it's the same for me. I'm fairly certain that all these elements were there on the final review page before submitting so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    I asked grad rec and they confirmed that the summer scheme is for penultimate year law and non-law students only. And if you are a finalist law/non-law or a graduate you can only apply for winter, spring or direct TC.

    Hi does anyone here by any chance know what are DLA Piper summer internship dates? Also, are they only running ONE scheme in the summer? The Apply page does say that international students can expect the scheme to be between the end of June and beginning of July - so I'm assuming they're only...

    In Clifford Chance's TC application form it asks for details re any instances where you've not managed to convert to a TC following a vac scheme. The question on the CC application is specifically worded this way — If your answer to the above question was 'no' we would appreciate any detail...

    Hi @Jessica Booker on the topic of accommodation and costs of participating in a vac scheme - I was wondering what is the best way to approach discussing an additional bursary for accommodation and travel costs if I'm not from London?

    Can firms e.g. Clifford Chance see the work that you submit for their virtual internships on Forage? I can't seem to figure out how to opt out from sharing any of the work I submitted to the employer.

    My White & Case WVS AC was on Tuesday 15/11/22. Grad rec told me at the end of my interview that they will aim to finalise WVS decisions by the end of this week - so I think that means they will send out offers by today and tomorrow and probably post-AC PFOs next week.

    Hi @KirksUS I attended a presentation re cover letters and CVs with Slaughter and May last year and would concur with what @Jessica Booker said.
