    Addleshaw Goddard Application

    When I applied, I think there was a separate section for mitigating circumstances. I assume it is a space to add anything else you think is relevant, but it may be worth contacting Grad to confirm.

    This one works in practice too. ;)

    Addleshaw Goddard Application

    Ah okay. I went through the application process 2 years ago so they may have changed things since then.

    Addleshaw Goddard Application

    For the vacation scheme it is: application form, video interview and assessment centre. I remember reading that on Chambers when I was applying too and it is incorrect.

    LLM 2020/2021 & Coronavirus considerations

    Good luck! If you need any advice, you (and anyone else) are welcome to drop me a message. I don't post here often but I am always willing to help if and where I can. This forum already has plenty of great resources though and it definitely helped me in the process.

    LLM 2020/2021 & Coronavirus considerations

    Law firms recruit two years in advance usually, unless there happens to be a space in an earlier intake. What you are thinking of is the amount of extra time required after graduating. A law graduate has to do the LPC (1 year) and non-law students have to do both the GDL and LPC (2 years each)...

    Any chance for international students?

    At open days, campus events etc. I've met some international students who are now trainee solicitors. They have often been at larger City firms, presumably because those firms are readily willing to sponsor their visa.

    The Big Four vs Traditional Law

    The American Lawyer one in the original post seemed to be behind a paywall when I checked. A summary of that would be useful!

    Vacation Scheme Top Tips

    This is more of a practical point, but does anyone have any advice for where most vac schemers in London decide to stay during their vac scheme, in terms of accommodation etc.? Are student halls the best choice? Thank you!

    Good luck! You should get a phone call explaining what the day entails and that is probably your best chance to ask any questions you may have.

    Applying for a Direct Training Contract

    I agree with you, it's very true, and I know how brutal the process is, as someone going through it right now. It is possible that there could be some recurring themes, but equally, it could be a matter of bad luck as you mentioned.

    Applying for a Direct Training Contract

    What feedback did you get from your interviews? If you are making the same fundamental errors or having the same issues with interviews, you may find the same problems with your direct TC applications. Just a thought, although it is hard to tell without knowing the context or the feedback you...

    Still waiting (for summer). No one I know has heard back yet either.

    Future AMA Sessions

    And also, I do not wish to be overly critical or anything, because I found the last livestream very useful, but is there any possibility of improving the camera and audio quality for future livestreams?

    Future AMA Sessions

    I agree with Daniel. I missed the Reed Smith one but I was able to watch the recording after.

    Hi Alice, A full video of the event was uploaded to the Shearman & Sterling Grad UK YouTube channel. I watched it yesterday and it was quite useful. Good luck.

    I am in the same position. I definitely submitted my VI because it was confirmed by Sonru. Hopefully we hear back soon.

    Perhaps they look at the spring VS applications first? Either way, fingers crossed it goes well for both of us.
