Did anyone hear back from cms today with tc offers?

Yeah a number of people have for London office.. I’ve heard nothing though. Losing hope by the hour

 

[solicitor_2028]

anyone who applied for DLA internship (regional) on the deadline and still hasn't heard back?

do you know if they released AC's in batches previous years or all at once?

 

[HopefulTC]

Guys, btw, Hogan has started sending AC invites. However, A campus ambassador informed me that they don't send invites in bulk, so we don't need to worry. Idkkkk what to make of it.

Is this for spring, summer or dtc?

 

[LawAspirer]

no

Any news from Debevoise?

nope

 

[LaDiva]

Just got a Farrer & Co PFO, anyone know if the VS and TC application allowance still applies this year? The email doesn’t say so and it’s sort of unclear in the website FAQs. Like has anyone asked grad rec this year ?

Sorry to read this, if you don't mind when did you apply? I've applied on 28/12 and still waiting

Have a look through here. Although non-binding, I think most firms will abide within reason: https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/topic...ry-code-of-recruitment-for-trainee-solicitors

« Employers will respond to all applicants regardless of outcome »… I know a couple of firms breaking this code ….( coughs Paul Hastings )

I won't mention a firm either because Withers will get upset
