follow up question (forgive the ramble): do you guys reckon having work experience (and actively working) at the law firm you're applying to for a vac scheme give any meaningful advantage? (i.e. 6 months working [at a different office than the one you're applying to] while on a year abroad)

    I think it doesn't matter, but it does give you advantage because you have worked at the firm, so you would know more about the firm, use that in interviews.
