    Has anyone heard back from Gibson Dunn? Ever since I did their personality test I haven't heard anything back. And HSF Kramer Digital Open Day? I've seen some report PFOs for the Disputes Open Day!

    Has anyone heard back from Gibson Dunn yet? Got their personality test back quite a few days ago after some technical difficulties on their end and its just been radio silence since.

    Didn't even get to the assessment, quite of a bit of time has still passed actually, I think I completed the Captivate on Aug 26, and heard nothing since then, got my rejection yesterday. I guess I was too truthful on the personality test! 😅😂

    I perhaps wouldn't call it giving legal advice, usually with legal volunteering you're advised not to describe it in such a way, but otherwise I always include my pro bono legal volunteering in the work experience section!

    Winter, Spring and Summer Vacation Scheme Deadlines 2025-26 (with rolling/non rolling checklist!)

    Baker Mckenzie's vacation scheme details are on their website, but I can't find anywhere if they are rolling or not and they don't seem to have a FAQs section.

    Yes I did, for each of my applications I try and attend an Open Day/Application Webinar and complete the Forage wherever possible - makes writing the application much much easier
