I’ve just been invited to an AC but there’s only one slot I can book when I click on the link.

Does anyone know if law firms make more slots available over time or does this mean there’s likely only one date left?

This is for Mayer Brown btw.
In my past experience, they usually add more.

But this has been firms with a larger intake who run more ACs at once. Because MB has a smaller intake, they may have cherry-picked a few of you to do ACs on that day. So they can pick more easily

May be worth reaching out to Early Careers.

Congratulations!!

PFO from Latham after doing well on their dreadful online assessment, attending their Open Day, networking with them ... what else did they want from me literally?
Same! I did the open day, 5 of their Forage Programs (lol) and attended like 4 different in-person events with them over the course of 2 years. My application was super tailored too idk😭

Most helpful advice ever, thanks guys:


• Take the time to review your application thoroughly before submitting it. This includes checking for any grammatical, spelling, or formatting errors.
• Utilise tools such as spell checkers, grammar checkers, and style guides to help ensure your application is free from errors.
• Start your application early and set aside time for a final review before submitting.

I did those Forage programs too. I feel like it was one of my best apps as well. After having invested so much time in them, it sucks .
