    For those waiting to hear from White & Case, I spoke to them on the open day and they said that they don't really start to review applications until after the deadline date!

    My laptop crashed around 2/3 of the way through the Emotify game for Ashurst. Once I restarted my laptop it said I had completed the game. Has anyone had a similar experience and is there anything I can do?

    For a 'Why are you applying to X firm?' question should we discuss why commercial law and why the firm, or stick to just why that firm? For context, there isn't anywhere else on the application form where I could include why commercial law. Thanks!

    Does anyone know if I can apply to Latham's summer vac scheme as a second year (penultimate) non-law student? The website doesn't make it clear.
