[QUOTE="Romiras, post: 11593, member: 1993"] I'm skeptical about the worth of that. I think most firms require you to do a dispute resolution seat. Even firms that are Corp / Fin focused. This is generally because of regulation. I'm doubly skeptical you really know what you want to do (I mean that in the nicest way possible), since you'll only ever truly know once you've started your Training Contract and have actually spent substantial time doing real work, after being trained at the firm. Regardless, you should generally refrain from telling an interviewer you're dead-set on a particular practice area, given that you're applying to be a trainee who will be allocated to the firm's needs. They can only accommodate you insofar as it works logistically. However, it is great that you have experience. By leveraging that experience and highlighting your interest in a particular area, that will be received well, as long as you're open to other practice areas. [/QUOTE]
