    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Thanks, Jessica! Yes, this is launchpad. They told me I had 7 days in an email sent 16.30 on 23rd, so if it was due today then that means the 23rd would be counted as a day, which would be a bit strange, so I'm glad my gut feeling was right!

    Would doing an MA in Arabic and possibly IR after having done an LLB be complete suicide in terms of gaining a TC in the future? I am in my third year and looking for back up plans in case I do not secure a TC now. I am not saying this plan is smarter than let's say working, paralegaling, doing...

    Kirkland App

    Does Kirkland recruit students beyond their penultimate year for the vac scheme? I am a third year law student and their brochure makes me a bit confused as to whether I'm allowed to.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Does anyone else feel like they put their answers as negative (i.e Assumption not made, Conclusion does not follow) way more frequently than positive for the Baker WG and WGs in general? Feel like this always happens to me and although I have passed some WGs before that was a while ago and I am...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I just read on their application website you need minimum 4 weeks of work experience - so I guess my 2 weeks of work experience through an insight and vacation scheme is not enough in the end?

    I have 4 open days, 1 insight scheme at a silver circle firm and 1 vac scheme at an MC firm under my belt - should I apply for a direct TC to Linklaters, or do they mostly recruit from vacs?

    Baker McKenzie ask the following in their app: "Please tell us what you consider to be your key achievements and interests to date. (300 words)" Can this be bulletpointed or do they expect a long answer?

    Did Vi with white & case a week ago on a Saturday and still haven't heard back for AC. Given that the scheme is in December I'm assuming I'm out?

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Thank you! One final question. Baker McKenzies deadline for the spring vacation scheme is 1 dec, but I see people with offers and ACs already. Is it worth applying? The deadline for the summer scheme is 1 jan. It says on the application that it is aimed at second years, but that finalists also...

    Skadden has an open day on 30 nov. Their vac scheme deadline is 31 dec. Given that it is rolling I would like to send off my application for the vac scheme now. Or should I apply for the open day, attend that on the 30. nov and then send off my vac scheme app?

    Allen & Overy SJT

    I applied criminally late (1 hr before the deadline), but strangely enough immediately got the link to the SJT, and got the confirmation I had passed it 5 minutes after completing it.
