    An application question has the following question: "Which law would you change and why?" I was wondering what is the structure that I should adopt for this answer and should I link it back to the firm's practice area or deals? Thank you!☺️

    I did my Milbank first assessment on 6th Dec and haven't heard anything since. Should I assume a PFO or has noone heard from them post-6th Dec after the first test?
