Has anyone heard from Birketts? They said interviews would commence last week of Jan/ first week of Feb but I haven't heard of anyone of progressing

Assuming PFO but would like to know

Does anyone know the Proskauer deadline? I saw on Ziplaw that's it's 3rd Feb, but no idea if that's correct.

Hi everyone, today was my last day at TCLA and I’m now getting ready to begin my TC in March. I really enjoyed my time here, and just wanted to say thanks to each and every one of you that made me feel welcome! I know the journey is long, gruelling, often crippled with self-doubt but just know that you will eventually come out on the other side, and you’ll look back and feel very proud of what you accomplished. Wishing you all the best…

@Abbie Whitlock and @Andrei Radu will be around to answer your questions, and @Jaysen will still be keeping an eye on you all (so, in the words of Shakira, no fighting).

Nooo we will miss you, go get them!!

It was 23 Jan. it’s stated on their website.

 

[floral.tcla]

I’ve gotten case studies about corporate investigations, injunctions, and even sponsorship agreements

been there done that because why are these law firms expecting us to know as much as a trainee

 

[radssss]

Were any of the OC ACs received yesterday for London or were they all for Bristol?

Think it was all Bristol.

If someone got one for london yesterday, please correct me!

 

[applicant457]

Does anyone know how long WFW take to respond after ACs?

 

[floral.tcla]

Not to bring up Gowling again but…. I think maybe VS ACs are held in late February instead of Jan… that’s the most logical reason I can think of for why it seems no one has heard back post-VI (for the London VS)

Thank you so much for the support! Best of luck, you're gonna rock it!

hey guys, happy tuesday! Does anyone have insight on the OC virtual AC? (Bristol) specifically in regards to the "interactive q&a" - is this separate to the presentation or the follow-up questions to the presentation?
