I am waiting as well! Applied to the summer vac scheme though! Feels like there is plenty of people that have received a rejection or offer already. Not sure if we are being put on hold?

Mayer Brown Tests

Congrats!! Do you mind sharing if you included a 'why you' section in the cover letter? I am struggling with the word count and am tempted to only talk about 'why law' and 'why Mayer Brown' in the cover letter and would then use the 'range of achievements/interests' section to talk about 'why...

securing a vacation scheme/training contract as overseas student - advise needed!

Hi everyone, I am an overseas student with an LL.B. from a Dutch university and have recently moved to the UK and am now wondering whether anyone could shed some light on my chances of getting into a vacation scheme/training contract here? As I have a non-qualifying law degree, I was also...
