Hey, it's only 1 question. No time limit, 3 minutes to answer, and you get two attempts to record. Nothing too crazy, it's about as hard as you make it I think.
Good luck!

You are a legend, thank you!!

Any insight into Cleary Assessment Day? Any help would be so appreciated - can help with Akin TI, Gibson Dunn first round interview, Jones Day first round interview, Skadden final round interview, Dechert WE, Freshfields AC, W&C VI.

Hi, congrats on getting the AC! Can you please let us know if there are any other AC dates left for Cleary in February?

Hi - specific question here:
"
Please provide details of any additional posts of responsibility that have not been caputured in your Work Experience information (e.g. at school, university, or elsewhere) and your main extra-curricular activities and leisure interests:"

I read this two ways: one which asked me to provide main extra-curricular activities, and one which didn't. The form didn't have space to add extra-curricular activities. I find the punctuation quite ambiguous - it could be asking to provide posts of responsibility that have not been captured in (work experience and extra-curriciulars), or posts of responsibility that have not been captured in work experience in addition to main extra-curricular activities.
