Did anyone get an AC invite from Morgan Lewis today? I ve seen someone saying they got a rejection post phone interview but I still have nothing

i did mine early monday last week so i imagine they’re getting back to people now

I really am at a loss after three cycles, I used all the resources I could get from my university careers service to TCLA, but really feels like I'm never actually going to secure anything.

Hey, you're really not alone in feeling like this. There's a lot of luck involved in this process sometimes and it sucks that things haven't been going your way recently but the fact that you have done a VS is a great testament to the fact that you are good enough and will definitely secure something. Keep going, your time and that little bit of luck you need, it will come.

I've been on the TC hunt for what feels like 5 centuries

Email from Fieldfisher that includes the words 'I am sorry..' but then goes on to apologize for the wait in hearing back... defo thought that was a PFO for a full minute

100%. I'd like to be in the room when you explain that to an interviewer

Anyone have advice on PM AC for the vacation scheme?

I was very much thinking about my USPs and how I could sell myself to firms. I decided my ability to speak a few foreign languages was probably my best asset so Polyglot seemed like an obvious choice.

 

[Risup]

Has anyone received an interview from Shearman in the last couple of weeks?

 

[ishikam]

Has W&C given out VIs for their summer VS? I have only seen for the Spring VS on the forum but I am not too sure and I am starting to get a tad bit worried.

 

[Law on my mind]

AC invite for Pinsent Masons!!!

Any advice (especially those who have already complete one)

Would be much appreciated!! as it's my first cycle and AC I'm really nervous,

Please feel free to dm me too xx

I emailed a local firm in Sixth Form to enquire about getting some work experience/shadowing. They emailed back "I'm very sorry to say that the only solicitor in our team who can accommodate you during that week is David. You're very welcome to join him but he's a bit of a dull arsehole. Yours respectfully, David". He was the most lovely human being I've ever met and a truly incredible lawyer.
