Thanks! I applied to the Nottingham office and completed the VI 21st December!
Jones Day SVS VI invite! Has anyone else done theirs earlier last year? Apparently there are only 48ish slots for Feb so idk if they did others earlier

They are doing the spring ACs in January so will probably move on to summer after that?
This is the first thing I’ve done. I can’t seem to find anything, hence why I’m asking here.I would just google ‘Travers Smith core values’ and also have a search on their website
I'm happy people's inboxes are becoming lubricated <3
Mine is dry as ever but I've got exams to focus on this week anyway so hopefully I'll get good news at some point.
Wishing the best for anyone else dealing with January exams and also very best of luck to all those taking the SQE this month too (particularly @Abbie Whitlock and @Andrei Radu whom I think are probably taking it this month and have been so helpful throughout the cycle so far)!

Has anyone heard back from regional offices for CMS?
Me scrolling through these updates like I don’t have work to do!! LOVE TO SEE IT 😍
My ChatGPT is working hard on my VS apps today. (For clarity, I get it to tailor my previous answers to specific firms with use of web.run for research and then try to edit the GPTish bits out.) IDK if everyone does this, lol.
i now understand how people are getting like 60 apps in hahahha. fair play
Has anyone heard from Baker Mckenzie post VI (Spring VS), Freshfields Stage 2 for DTC, or Linklaters (Spring VS)?
Convinced baker spring vac scheme is a figment of our imagination. There is an idea of a spring vacation scheme at baker mckenzie.
I did 100 apps last year without using AI. Once you have 2 or 3 "commercial news story" and an answer to "why do you want to be a lawyer" it's not that hard.
However, with AI rather than copying and pasting my "why do you want to be a lawyer" from another app, I can have it edit my answer to better fit the specific firm/wording of the question.
I find the AI creates annoying and obvious verbal tics which I do edit out (it likes to end its last paragraph with Finally, for example, and there are a bunch of unnecessary adverbs and common buzzwords), but it's got a lot better over the last 12 months, so why not use it.
