I was looking to apply to Norton Rose's summer scheme, but it seems it's exclusively available to penultimate year students and only the winter/spring ones are available for final years/graduates?

This seems to be case, but would anyone be able to clarify as I have never seen this before and it seems rather unusual!

    It is quite strange; on a similar note, does anyone know if NRF's deadline is rolling?
