@Jessica Booker or does anyoene else know if the application system asks you to list your "qualifications" for your degree (asks for its qualification name, type, result and date obtained), does "qualification" mean each subject, i.e. Tort, Constitutional etc, or the degree, i.e. LLB?

Just got the email from DLA that I passed their VI benchmark and am considered for AC! How long did it take people to hear back from this stage?

Congrats! How long ago did you submit your VI and is this for the London office?

I imagine many of us received responses today. I progressed to the VI stage (yay) and am a little puzzled by one of the questions. @Jessica Booker I wondered if you could weigh in here.

yeah I was confused about this too, I think it could be the case of answering why you basically want to train in cc's London office + what do yk about the London office ==> thats how I interpreted it but lmk if im wrong

this is for Latham's sjt :' 'To access the assessment, please log back into the apply4law homepage. The deadline for completing the assessment is three days after the application form deadline (London), or three days after submission for non-London vacancies. If you require any adjustments to be made ahead of you taking this assessment, please contact the office you have applied to.'

does this mean then the deadline to complete the test is 13th since the deadline is 10th? I was a bit confused idk if im being daft @Jessica Booker

any tips for passing arctic shores? I am struggling to accept the fact that I wouldn't get the vac scheme when my application was decent because I popped too many balloons.
