    There’s no cover letter in the Baker McKenzie TC application, is there? I thought there was for some reason but can’t find it in the form and think I might be losing my mind.

    Thanks, guys! My issue is that I don’t know where to find my extra time plan from uni because it was years ago and I stupidly didn’t think I’d ever need it again.

    Has anyone done a mock interview with aspiring solicitors. I have one booked and the confirmation says let us know which firm it’s with but I don’t know how to let them know? Do I just fill in the contact form on their website? Please help!

    I am convinced there’s something freaky going on because every firm I have attended events with this year, I have gotten rejected from. It makes no sense!!
