[QUOTE="Sandrou, post: 697, member: 31"] Hi guys, sorry for the late reply I've been drowned with work. In respect to the Slaughter and May Assessment Centre, I'm sure you have received the email in respect to the structure of the Assessment Centre. 1) The case study: you will be taken to a room with a computer and the case study already on the table. The task is very time restrictive so I would I suggest you write a plan before you start typing away [First thing I typed was an intro and conclusion just in case I ran out of time]. The case study will likely require you to come up with some informative ideas for your client and will list options. It will be your job to decide and advice which option is suitable based on the facts the client gives you. 2) Article: You will be taken to reception and immediately given an article to read, this could be on anything from the climate change, housing crisis or recent commercial issues. You will have 15/20mins to read it before going on to discuss it with 2 partners. The interview is VERY commercial heavy. 3) Competency interview: This is pretty much an interview in respect to your motivations. There is no script. Therefore the partners will go off your CV and ask questions of their own. Typical questions like "why you" "why commercial law" etc are very unlikely to come up. Questions like, "Who else have you applied to and why?" "How do Slaughter and May differentiate from those firms?" "Talk us through your grades?" etc... Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
