Can third-year law students apply?

Definitely, I am. Would probably not recommend a spring vac scheme. You can also apply to direct training contracts

What are you referring to?

Hey congrats on getting an interview! When did you submit your app and test? And when were you offered the interview?

Thank you! I submitted my app on the 29th of September (super early ik) and the online test on the 8th of October, but didn't hear back from them until 6th of November

Is there an interview before the actual AC? Or is the interview you are referring to the final stage?

Hi @axelbeugre I was wondering how you would approach a question that asks what improvement you would make to a firm and why?

 

[gch1997]

Can anyone please tell me what the prep time is for Mischon VI and how long we have to answer? deadline is tonight and help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, its 15 second prep time and 45 second answer

Is A&O going to be a PFO if they haven’t gotten back

 

[LehmanBrothersRiskManagementIntern]

Does anyone know how long BCLP takes to get back post interview and is that via email or phone??

 

[hannahfl]

@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre Hi both, I hope you are well. At the Simmons AC I was told that we would hear an outcome by 20th Nov. I see that some people on the forum have received WVS invites post AC, and some unfortunately have rejected PFO post AC.
I don’t want to seem pushy but I would need to know soon as I work full time and the scheme is in less than 2 weeks.

How would you handle this?

Anyone heard back from Slaughters regarding the summer scheme? Ik the deadline isn't until december but I was under the impression it was rolling...

Just asked Baker Mckenzie at the Legal Cheek law fair if they used the WG for its online test and the grad rec responded "it is TBC", so just an fyi....
