    I don't think there is anything unambiguous in this question which needs explaining. You are being asked where you think they should open their next office and why? Have a look at where they already have offices and use those locations to determine where might be appropriate based on current...

    Seriously try not to worry about this. I have seen people speak about what they have put for certain application answers before and thought well that's me out then only for me to progress to later stages and see that they have been PFO'd before me. Sometimes applicants can overthink things...

    If you look at the firms you like on Legal Cheek you will be able to see the % of current trainees that are international. There is a surprisingly high number if you consider the number of trainee recruits.

    If your application and tests etc get you to latter stages of an application are they looked at again or if you have gotten to AC at that stage is it merely performance there that counts. The main reason I am asking is that I see the depth and length at some of the admin suggested answers...

    If you have time to specifically research firms then as many as you can. With 2 to 3000 applying for each then it can be a numbers game to some extent. Those who only apply to 10 and get offers have been lucky to some extent if not falling completely in the exceptional category.
