PLEASE guys can we stop with the fake law firms I desperately wish there was a Fast and Furious LLP and a Tom & Jerry LLP trust me i wouldve applied with fastness. but there arent.. and the forum is getting incredibly confusing to find actual info

Has anyone heard back from Batman & Robin? I sent my app in mid Sept and lowkey I think they’re completely airing me. Should I assume PFO?

Definitely, I believe Gothams has been hit by tariffs so legal hiring has taken a pause

Anyone who's done Akin TI, do they stick strictly to the 20-25 minutes?

I actually think we must have been so good they genuinely don't know what to do and that we should celebrate with a TCLA fight night so everyone can hash it all out with Simmons as the sponsors

If it helps with regards to waiting, last year I applied to White & Case on 22 October 2024, and then received my PFO on 23 July 2025, so a nice chill 274 day wait.

I'd literally forgotten I'd applied; the email truly bamboozled me.

When you guys are waiting to hear back from firms, do you prepare for the next stage (i.e., for VI), or am I…

 

[ACHat8r]

for an interview question, if they ask what are your strengths and weaknesses, what is the best weakness to choose (i might be overthinking this but pls help)

I do too!! I would rather be prepared than blindsided
