@Ram Sabaratnam can you advise on any resources to use when preparing for written exercises?

Has anyone got any insight for slaughter and may interview? I’ve seen people say it’s a bit different to others, any advice on how to best prepare?

For those who submitted their application to HL, after how many days did you receive the WG invite and also, how many days do you have to complete it?

I applied on the 19th and received the invite today. The deadline for completion is within 7 days.

Government Legal Profession AC!!!
My first law AC so would appreciate any advice from anyone, especially if you have attended the government AC before.

Congrats! I got one too
Likewise, any advice would be appreciated!

Hi both, and others who received the GLP trainee AC invite, have you been asked to schedule the AC yet? The latest on offer for mine is 5 Aug but I kinda want to have a later one haha

PFO from Collyer Bristow and White & Case today. This has been such a draining app cycle.

Has anybody heard from Sullivan & Cromwell?

I received a PFO last week. It could be good news for you if you haven't heard

 

[studentdelaw786]

Does Macfarlanes generally offer TCs from direct applications or do they predominantly recruit from VS intake?

Any response from Morgan Lewis post TI?

I’ve not heard anything yet. If you don’t mind me asking, when did you complete your TI?

I had mine 3 weeks ago and also haven’t heard yet, but was told we’d hear back this week. I wonder if they’ll send AC invites in batches

Hi, I'm sorry to hear May I know when you did you apply to Collyer Bristow? I haven't heard back.

I now have the email to book, but I can't access the candidate portal because the link to it at the bottom of the email isn't working for me. I don't suppose you'd be kind enough to send a link to the login page of the candidate portal? My plan is to do it August 1st as I have another interview w/c Aug 4th.

Edit: apparently it's because all places have been booked and I need to wait for another email with new slots for the AC. So no worries.

Hey, sorry to hear about Collyer Bristow and W&C. I just wanted to ask if the PFO for W&C was post-app or post-VI?

 

[rabialegal]

Anyone heard back from PMC yet? I'm aware they send end of July on the last correspondence, just wanted to check with you guys
