    Asking for Work

    My friend who landed a TC at Bakers sent an email to partners asking for work. Another friend who got a TC at Cleary asked about the lawyers' work at the pantry and offered to help. Hope this helps~!

    How to answer "most important rewards" in law (Akin Gump App)

    Hi all, I have two questions. First, I am wondering how to answer this question: "What are the most important rewards you expect in your career?" (250 words max) Second, a cover letter must be uploaded, so the motivational questions seem quite repetitive to me. These are all the questions in...

    Interview Question: Why did you fail your vac schemes?

    Hi everyone :) I'm not sure if this has been posted before. I've been getting this question "Why did you fail your vac schemes" recently.
