Summer Vacation Scheme Thread 2019
Interesting question, I can't say I've heard that one before. A "legal decision" to me would suggest a case rather than legislation. It doesn't necessarily have to be one the firm has taken on itself, but it should impact the firm's business. I think that question sounds harder than it...- Jaysen

Region-specific Interview Prep?
I'd stick with "why CMS?" generally. Even if it's less relevant to the Bristol office, you're talking about what drew you to CMS in the first place. It's a good question though. You may want to include a point referencing why the Bristol office, although, it's quite likely they'll ask you that...- Jaysen

Feedback on Applications
I'm always interested to know whether they tailor these emails or whether it's generic. Perhaps they segment the stronger applications?- Jaysen

Hogan Lovells app to Birmingham
1) Either is fine. I do like the idea of choosing evidence outside of your legal experiences if you have already talked about them elsewhere. If it helps, I'd just break down the question: Why/how did you drop everything? How did you raise your game to keep a promise? How did you manage this...- Jaysen

Amazing, well done. That's quite a nice AC structure (at least in terms of the number of activities you need to do). Written exercise: Interviewers are looking to see your ability to analyse documents, pay attention to detail and write clearly. Keep this in mind as you begin the exercise. If...- Jaysen
