    Skadden PFO, seems like I am not the only one. Oh well, I am not surprised.

    Hi! I have a question regarding the Osborne Clarke application form. The referee section has 3 subsections: academic referee, company/organisation referee, second company/organisation. They are all mandatory. I, for example, do not have a second company to write down as a referee. What should I write down on the mandatory fields for the second company? This is on apply4law btw.
