Does anyone have any tips for the article part of the Slaughters interview? I know that they usually get an opinion piece from the times, guardian, or FT, but if anyone has any useful resources on how I should go about preparing for these and analysing the articles, that would be very helpful.
Saw a few helpful responses re the article portion of the Slaughters interview - I agree with what other people here have said. If I could add on...

I attended a direct TC interview with Slaughters (was unsuccessful) but the feedback I got was that during the article portion of the interview I wasn't listening to their questions carefully. In retrospect I think it was because I didn't know how to engage with the arguments the interviewer was putting forward and instead, I kept trying to change the topic and insist on my own point of view. I found this video from TCLA quite helpful - wishing you the best of luck!

Didn't realise I had to complete the TLT RARE form before the end of deadline date - I did it just now and it let me submit it. Does this mean my application will still be considered as I haven't been rejected yet? Cheers

That’s fantastic, massive well done 🤩
I applied on the 3rd so not looking hopeful. This is my first round of applications and I think, having just done the Ropes&Gray training sesh, I’ve fluffed them all 🤣 ah well, practice run to learn all my lessons in preparation for the real thing next time :)

Fingers crossed for you that all the next stages go well. I’m sure they will!
Thank you again ! And yeah this is my first application round and it can be so stressful at times 🤣 and I’ve gotten so many rejections both before and after taking WG and SJT. I know there are still a few firms that have their applications open , I would check on the Legal Cheek’s deadline calendar to find out!

    Just received an email for EY's vac scheme saying this:

    'Unfortunately we don’t have a role for you at the moment and, with regret, we need to withdraw your application. However, we’ve spent a lot of time reviewing your application and you do have positive results so far. We would like to keep your application, and if anything changes we will invite you to resume your application from where you left off.'


    But the portal doesn't show it was withdrawn?
