Nice. Concluded for Spring yet they don't send PFOs?
I love it.

Sorry, I can't help it but to read your post in Miranda Priestley voice.

"Concluded? For Spring? Groundbreaking."

HELLO,

I need advice asap. I just got a TC offer but have ACs coming up for vacation schemes in the next few weeks as well as ACs im waiting to hear back from about vacation schemes. Does anyone know what my options are here?

Hi guys, do you think there is any benefit of applying to Stephenson Harwood VS over TC or vice versa?

I'm currently completing their application, better do it than not is my thought.

Have a look through here. Although non-binding, I think most firms will abide within reason: https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/topic...ry-code-of-recruitment-for-trainee-solicitors

That's so awkward

i think next week - early feb they said

 

[GKT]

congrats! what’s the stage after this? also i wonder how selective the presentation stage is?

At the open day they said the next stage would be the AC. As to how to selective, I'm not too sure but their training cohort isn't that big so make of that what you will.

What would the SRA say to such blatant dishonesty? But also she already asked if people can cover, so that ship has sailed lol

À stomach bug can be unexpected 🥺

Just got a Farrer & Co PFO, anyone know if the VS and TC application allowance still applies this year? The email doesn’t say so and it’s sort of unclear in the website FAQs. Like has anyone asked grad rec this year ?

Does anyone know if I could still switch HSF Kramer from Summer to Spring? I just received news that I have an international competition in summer.
