it is usually better to talk to 3rd or 4th seat trainees as they can give more detailed insight in the firm. I don’t understand why firms have fresh trainees at the events- Gg2001

That does not go against their point though. Legal cheek could say 47% Russell group and majority of those would come from LSE / Durham / Warwick, people who got rejected from Oxbridge.
