    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Sorry just to clarify - when I said virtual I was under the impression that it was some kind of simulation involving hypothetical cases/clients/legal issues/time scales as one other person suggested. I completely understand that they will be remote -...

    Thanks for getting back so quickly - I guess I'm really asking if I should check my email over the next ten days or if firms will only get back after the 3rd?

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I have two questions about applications I recently submitted. I made a grammatical error in one, and yet got invited for the WG. Is that a sign that they've overlooked the error, or that they'll only look at it after the WG? In another, I accidentally put a full stop in the middle of a...
