Hi

Has anyone on this forum had any experience applying to the Government Legal Department? I have an Assessment Day in a few weeks. Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Hey there :) I wonder if it might be an idea to post this in our main thread which I have linked for you here:
https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....centres-and-interview-tips-2020.2170/page-230

This thread sees the most traffic so it is more likely someone will see your post and maybe be able to help with this

Good luck with the AC!
