I'm so jealous of you guys! I have never had a VS and have had one unsuccessful AC. The rest is pure post-app rejections :D

Thanks. I just wanted to ask SM if I can apply again because I have improved a lot since the interview, and I wanted to use the fact that they are considering my work for the main prize as evidence of that.

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

Hi guys, I'm facing a fairly difficult question. The thing is that I had an interview at Slaughters for direct TC in August and screwed up so badly (specially the article part). During the interview, I wasn't really myself due to the fact I had to sleep on the floor at my friends' flat because I...

I would personally say "60% in criminal law." From your examples, however, I'd go with just 60.

To make things worse, I applied (this time willingly) for a CC training contract and got an email saying that because I had passed the WG already, I didn't have to do it again. So I was chilling, reading TCLA threads until the deadline day came. I expected the decision around January so I was...
