I want to be more forthcoming about my experiences and that’s why I’ll do my best to provide timely updates on this thread in the hope of getting closer to achieving my dream. Here’s how this cycle has gone so far for me, I applied to 6 US law firms for their 2023 spring/summer vac schemes with the following results : Sidley Austin-PFO post app Weil-PFO post app Kirkland & Ellis-PFO post app Shearman & Sterling-PFO post app Ropes & Gray-PFO post app On the flip side though, I have 6 months of paralegal experience & recently have also secured a new paralegal role with DACB in their property team in Bristol.
