[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 162392, member: 30937"] I personally am no aware of the reasons why but what I can think of is that law firms invest an insane amount of money in our training and I did not think it was a crazy request from my perspective. I had the choice to reject it and do my summer scheme at another US firm, but I genuinely enjoyed the firm so much that I decided to accept. Additionally, everyone on my scheme who got offered the training contract (and also had other law firms' schemes to do in the summer) rejected their other schemes to accept Goodwin, which I personally goes to show you how we all enjoyed our scheme. I just want also preface that this was the case for my scheme, which was the Spring Scheme. The summer scheme was able to do their other vacation schemes as they were allowed since they did not receive their training contract offers later. The spring scheme candidates received their offers in May, so that was the only down side of doing the spring scheme. However, the spring scheme was the one that received the most training contract offers so I personally did not complain and was happy with my decision, but I do understand that it is an interesting approach. Many law firms do take this approach tho and I guess it is only fair to a certain degree. [/QUOTE]
