Ahhhh Goodwin VI! Is this automatic?

Lowkey very stressed idk how to prepare for Gowling’s VI and Goodwin’s AND revise for my January exams

The wording on their application process suggests that it's not automatic, so well done with your application! Good luck with the VI!

Did anyone that just got a Goodwin vi apply for summer? Or do we reckon they’re trying to push out spring first

Is the Goodwin vi automatic? What’s the application process post vi if someone passes it?

Is the Goodwin vi automatic? What’s the application post vi if someone passes it?

I think it’s app — video interview — assessment centre — vac scheme — training contract offer.

At their open day they said that the AC used to be on the VS but now they’ve moved it forward.​

I don’t think it’s automatic because I applied last year and got the PFO
