That’s probs just that particular firm being stuffy about the work experience. I’ve included all of the insight events I’ve attended (listing them all under a single entry) and have progressed past the app stage with several US firms (Skadden, Akin, Willkie and Gibson Dunn).- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Suppose it depends on whether you’ve done this to answer one question or if it’s 4 deals spanning a few different answers. If it’s the former I’d probs cut down and focus on 1 or 2 but offer more analysis. If it’s the latter, I’d say it should be okay but be cautious!- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I relate to this as someone with 3 young brothers who cannot be quiet for longer than 2-3 mins. In my Weil VI, I had to give grad rec the heads up that there’d probs be background noise. It didn’t help that my neighbours had decided to begin house renovations at the same time either. So there...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
