For the Dentons question asking for source references, How can one refer without taking a huge word count?

 

[Prudentia]

anyone have any insight on the CC WG? Was it super hard..

It's about the same difficulty as the practice test. I just got ChatGPT to drill me on each section and make the questions harder than the actual test. GPT can also explain the technique and reasoning behind each section (which is where most people mess up). I would recommend reading each question very carefully and going with your instinct. When I was practicing I tended to get the answer wrong if I spent too much time thinking about it. You have plenty of time to complete all the questions (it's not actually 40 questions as some of the 'questions' are examples), so don't rush it.

Super sad that Gemma Baker has left Willkie. I feel like it’s been a quiet exit but she’s one of the best recruiters!

I wonder who’s taken over at Willkie? Anyone know?

We miss her too!

Currently Kirsty is managing things over on the Willkie thread and the new graduate recruiter joins on Monday

I'd suggest either doing it organically ('Data from The Lawyer reports that...') or in brackets ('55% of people said...(The Lawyer)). My personal preference is the former!

Not the most important thing rn but I’m guessing this might extend the time to hear back after VI?

I suspect there is someone taking over in the meantime, but I'm not completely sure!
