    @Jessica Booker Do law firms care about if your law degree is an honours degree? Tbh I don't actually know the difference but someone at my uni told me that we don't get an honours degree if we don't do a dissertation, and a dissertation here is optional so loads of people aren't doing one

    FML the whole train operator that I was supposed to be with to travel for my AC tomorrow is cancelling most of the trains. @Jessica Booker Should I just email/call the firm to let them know that I may not be able to make the interview? Would they be understanding?

    I stayed at LSE accommodation for my vac last year and it was only a short bus trip to the office so it worked perfect. Did it through Booking.com too and got a discount. As for travel, a few of the people on the scheme did travel <1 hour to the office and they seemed okay, but from what you...

    For anyone doing the Latham VI in this batch, when the email says 17th Jan (GMT+00:00) does that just mean the latest we can submit it is 16th Jan 23:59?

    @Jessica Booker I don't need the whole suit jacket and tie for VIs right? Just a regular formal shirt will suffice?

    @Jessica Booker How should I go about trying to get a reimbursement from a firm? I attended an open day last November and their email said they'd cover my travel costs.
