Spring!

Congrats! Can I ask when you completed your VI & written exercise if you don't mind?

DLA piper vac scheme says it's only for second year law students or final year students from other courses but I applied as a third year (final year) law student and have an AC next week. Is it foreseeable I will have any problems down the line with this?

Which firms are people applying to post new year? I need to get my head into gear before deadlines start seriously limiting my options!

Mainly US law firms like Dechert, Covington and those types of law firms but mainly because I am interested in PE, M&A and,life sciences which most US law firms do.

Also, I am doing my research for my law firms this weekend and then am going to start writing the applications up after the TCLA webinar on Monday as I want to see how I can improve my application writing. I am excited about the TCLA webinar about applications on Monday.

Hey, it will probably just mean that you'll need to wait until 2024 to start your TC with the firm if you end up converting the AC and vac scheme.

I am sorry to hear that I have been there and know how you feel.

I applied on 25th December!

I have exactly the same thing, starting to think the same. As my video interview went horrifically as it was the first one I had done. But on the bright side have a final interview for Dickson Minto next week and assessment centre the following week for Dentons so I am not overtly worried.

Is the AC for Dentons' summer vac scheme? If so when did you do the telephone interview? I am yet to hear back from mine.

Has anybody heard anything from Links for the Spring vac scheme? Feel like I've been on 70% for a while

Mayer Brown online assessment PFO(SJT+ Verbal reasoning)...
