reed smith ac invite!! actually cannot believe it i thought my sjt and vi wasn’t great but i guess u can never tell!
Same! Just got it too, even though I did horrid on the VI haha

They’re quick too, I did my assessment on Saturday
Congratulations to both! Would you all mind sharing how you did for Amberjack please? Thank you!!
 
Hey guys, In my why law answer I’m thinking of changing it to being first interested in law when reading my parents divorce settlement, then linking to commercial law through uni etc. Is that a bit far fetched?

Also, I have clinical depression and so far i haven’t declared it as a health condition on applications as I feel firms might view me as unreliable or something. It doesn’t heavily impact my daily life but obvs it might be best to be truthful. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Honestly waiting for some sort of update as well! I finished my SJT/VI before the deadline for application and still haven't heard back.
Does Reed Smith send only one list of AC invites, or can we expect more?

Some people were still receiving SJT invites on Tuesday so I really hope it’s not just one round of invites, that would automatically reject those who haven’t even completed them! It is worrying..

Looking at previous threads it seems like people hear back after 3 weeks(?) im guessing the firm is exceptionally impressed with the member who did it this past sat!

    Yes, same here I finished my SJT just after the application deadline, but it hasn't been 3 weeks since I've submitted my SJT and VI! Hoping for the best🤞good luck to everyone😊
