CMS WG invite! If anyone could recommend some helpful resources I would really appreciate it as I haven't been doing too great on the practice tests😬
Any website recommendations for good WG practice tests? Thank you! ☺️
I had 14 daysThanks for this. Do you know how many days they give from the day of receiving the WG test?
Someone on here said they got a final partner interview yesterday I thinkAnyone heard from EY for the law summer internship yet? It has been over the 7 days that they say we should hear back within.
Yeah for the grad scheme they have a final partner interview, but not for the law summer internship so the next response we get will either be a rejection or offer onto the programme!Someone on here said they got a final partner interview yesterday I think
A few firms do, I’m currently looking at Penningtonshey, which law firm asked this question? i remember asnwering a similar question in one of my apps
I completed my application in November and I didn't have to specify. I think I only specified a location. It was a very basic personal information form followed by SJT with some verbal reasoning questions at the end.Does Irwin Mitchell still asks you to specify whether u want personal or business?
they are all with spaces, the portal doesn't allow you to submit the first one of it more than 2000 with spacesHey everyone!
Pinsent Masons has 3 questions on their application form:
Please explain why you have decided to pursue a career in commercial law and why you are applying to Pinsent Masons (Max 2000 Characters)
What are your main spare time interests? (Max 2000 characters including spaces)
Describe your greatest non-academic achievement of the last two years and why this achievement is important to you. (Max 2000 characters including spaces)
However, for only two of them, they say that it should be 2000 characters "including spaces". Does it mean that the first question can be 2000 characters long excluding spaces"?
I am confused :/
Thank you!they are all with spaces, the portal doesn't allow you to submit the first one of it more than 2000 with spaces
Yes, I think is important to demonstrate your motivations for seeking a career in commercial law first and then go into specifics about why you're applying to that particular firm.For Skadden, "Please insert your covering letter in support of your application here. Please include your reasons for applying to Skadden and why you believe you are suited to the firm."
Should there still be some reference to "Why Law" anyway?
I think this is not a traditional cover letter but this is my humble opinion.For Skadden, "Please insert your covering letter in support of your application here. Please include your reasons for applying to Skadden and why you believe you are suited to the firm."

By the way have a look at the past applications..they really show you how to structure your answerFor Skadden, "Please insert your covering letter in support of your application here. Please include your reasons for applying to Skadden and why you believe you are suited to the firm."

Completely agree with @Nicole15! My only suggestion is that to keep the cover letter to a page and, since they have been specific about what they are looking for, ensure that you really flesh out your motivations for wanting to apply to Skadden and why you're a good fit.Yes, I think is important to demonstrate your motivations for seeking a career in commercial law first and then go into specifics about why you're applying to that particular firm.
I tend to draft my covering letters in the following format:
- Why law?
- Why the firm?
- Why you?
Hope this helps!
