Honestly, I would say it is really too soon to say re. spring and summer schemes. I appreciate why you ask because I too would be really anxious and would like some peace of mind. What I absolutely will say is that firms will be also really disappointed if schemes are being postponed. Grad rec work so hard doing all the events and ACs leading up to them and the vacs themselves are their chance (and the rest of the firm) to see you all come in and enjoy the firm as potential future trainees. I am absolutely sure they will all give you an update as soon as possible but with the nature of law firms as businesses, there are a lot of people to consult with and contingency planning that needs to happen first. Just have faith that things are being postponed and not written off and as hopeless as it is, just try to sit tight. I really do empathise with every single one of you because it really is so difficult and I really understand the temptation to reach out for clarity.
