Slaughter and May- first year open day cover letter
A few quick comments: In your second paragraph, you do a good job talking about your legal experiences, but I'm not entirely clear on why you are interested in commercial law? The start of your third paragraph uses the same phrasing as my A&O application. Please change this! Good use of your...- Jaysen

Slightly worried before my TC
No need to apologise, it's a great post. Congrats on the TC. I experienced the same thing before starting my TC. I have mixed feelings. I think it's good that people entering the profession are aware of the hours, but there's only so many times you can be told the hours are tough until it...- Jaysen

Rolling Basis
As I also always say, my first vacation scheme was from a firm where I submitted my application about 30 minutes before the midnight deadline. Obviously, there is an opportunity cost to factor into the equation, but if you have the time then I'd go for it.- Jaysen

Milbank Application Tips?
The cover letter format should be the same as you would approach a normal cover letter, so: Brief introductory paragraph (one paragraph) Why commercial law? Why Milbank ? Why me? (A summary of how your experiences/extra-curricular activities makes you a good candidate) Bullet points 2-4 don't...- Jaysen

Irwin Mitchell Work Experience Stress
Do you think graduate recruitment were only trying to say you should write as much as you can? 5,000 characters is ridiculously long for each work experience. I would imagine it's more a maximum limit than a target.- Jaysen

wrong company name in my work experience?!
I don't see that as a big issue. Later down the line, if a firm wants to run a background check, you can clarify that the name is different.- Jaysen

First year applications
Legal work experience is good if you have it. You can use it to demonstrate your interest in a career in law. You could also mention extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility, or hobbies and interests, depending on the question. Although, firms will appreciate that some of these...- Jaysen
