Has anyone got a response from mishcon for their summer VC?

Think some got last week, all of us should hear back this week according to the date in their email.

Anyone heard back from Stephenson Harwood post video interview or know when we can expect to receive a response?

Hey guys! I have an AC coming up with Katten tomorrow. Just wondering whether anyone has had one in previous years and what it was like / what the video interview was like after. I can share insights for faegre interview, Sidley AC, SPB VI and more if anyone would be willing to help!

Has anyone who has not received Baker VS offer been sent a rejection email yet? Please drop a like if you received this and a dislike if not.

spb london anyone heard back yet?

 

[DennyCrane]

can you share what it was like please?

I suspect you're likely to get limited responses to this however many times you ask. The only people who will know will be your direct competitors and the firms generally ask that you don't share interview questions.

I would also be really grateful for any insights anyone can share on the Katten AC! I can share insights on the Jones Day AC and VS, WFW VI and AC, SPB VI and CRS VI amongst others.

Hey not vac scheme related, but does anyone have any tips for revising for law? I have closed book exams for my modules and i’m really struggling with the volume of things that I would need to memorise.

@Abbie Whitlock hi, i was just wondering how you would differentiate the structures of these two application questions for Paul Hastings? should we still use the evidence based approach for the 1st question (mentioning the skills and then using our experiences to support it)?

What skills do you believe contribute to the success of a solicitor? (200)

Why are your skills/attributes suited to a career at Paul Hastings? Why should we offer you a Training Contract? (200)
