I would still touch on the skills part a bit..gives the cover letter a more holistic approach imo and allows you to show why you're a good match for the firm
Thank you! I actually just realised they also ask in the form your motivations for being a solicitor and for applying to the firm. So do you think it would still be necessary to do a cover letter... feels a bit like they've asked everything already.

If its optional and you feel like you covered everything elsewhere I would skip it but if you feel like you can add something then I think a cover letter could only help

Exactly the same! The ACs are supposed to be 9th/17th
I mean, I wouldn't take it as a rejection yet, as the second AC is far away enough that they could still be sending successful applicants emails. I just received an AC invite from TLT yesterday, and that AC is on the 15th. So fingers crossed 🤞
