Thanks for the advice!
When you did yours how did the final case study and interview work? Was it directly after the scheme or effectively similar to fast tracking?
Hey, thanks for your reply
I’ll be a vac schemer. I was just roughly wondering what the situation is like at Slaughter and May. I’m a non-law so will be in my final year next year, and was just thinking ahead to the next cycle!
Thanks, this is really useful - I appreciate it.
When it comes to leveraging experiences etc, would you say the focus should be on the skills you got from it, or the specific interests it fosterered?
(I do appreciate that there can/probably should be an element of both, of course! I am just...
