I’m so confused. Why is DLA saying you need AAB in a level for their summer internship? I applied previously and there were no a level requirements.

LITERALLY. Why have people gone from ‘your exams from 17 don’t define you’ back to they are important! Like bro

Question for the forum: In a 2-minute VI question where the firm is asking, 'Why this firm + skills I think are important for trainees, ' do I need to delve into 'Why commercial law?' at all?

Given this is a lengthy question with a 2-minute time limit, I don't suppose I will have time to discuss it; however, since I am a career-changer, is it important that they know my answer to it?

I suppose if I choose to answer only what the question asks, I can delve into my reasons for pursuing commercial law later in the interview stages?

@Antoni Trochimowicz would appreciate any support!

Real talk. Is there a specific reason why all law firms decided to either introduce A Levels grade requirements or increase their existing requirements? 🫪

Don’t think there’s a “pass” as per say I think it’s just they see if you fit the specific profile they have it’s so random I don’t know why they chose that

Also, has anyone heard back from Dentons ME vac scheme
