    I agree with that - l think it's worthwhile to dedicate your time and effort to applying to more inclusive firms. Given the options available and the significant effort required for the application process, I personally choose not to apply to firms with poor diversity records. However, this is...

    Reed Smith VI!! 🥹 🥹 Finally, firms are getting back to me, which is a relief! Yesterday, I was feeling quite demotivated after dedicating so much time to those applications. I was worried that my efforts might have been in vain, especially after noticing that VIs were already being sent out...

    I didn’t do the actual test, with the practice test you get a report ( I assume it will be the same for the actual one and you’ll know your score) but I don’t understand if 70% is a good score or not

    Thank youu! I should have started the application sooner; it took me a while to answer those questions.😫 Do you think they review the application before sending the WG? I thought the test was automatic

    I've chosen the topic of AI and intellectual property rights (authorship and ownership in the context of AI-generated works, the application of copyright laws to these creations, and the challenges in patenting AI-invented products.)

    I applied in November, but they didn't send me the WG for three weeks. I emailed them to ask about it, but I didn't hear back. Eventually, I got the test, and after taking it, I emailed again, even though I was hesitant. I did it because I saw a lot of people here getting their WG scores. And...

    Thank you so much! Just want to clarify your last point Should I focus on discussing how AI is used by law firms for tasks like document review and predictive analytics, or how AI is used by candidates in the recruitment processes within these firms?

    The use of generative AI in recruitment is a particularly hot topic amongst candidates and recruitment teams alike. What are your views on candidates using generative AI in recruitment processes?
