Hi @Jessica Booker, following our phone call, I was wondering if you could please send or attach here any written exercise resources you think may be useful in preparing for Willkie's written assessment and Latham's written exercise for their AC. I would be keen to have a go at practising both with feedback if possible - which paid service and options would be best to select?

Hi everyone! This is slightly off topic, but I’m an international student who did both my schooling and law degree abroad. While I am applying for VS and TCs this year, I also want to have a firm backup plan. I’ve reached out to a few law firms, and given that my law degree is not a qualifying degree in the UK, they would require me to finish the PGDL. Do you think it would be wise for me to self-fund the PGDL this year in case I don’t get a TC? Would it be beneficial in any way?
Thank you! Yes for spring and I applied on deadline.
Hi - Have people who applied for summer on the deadline, heard back yet?
Is a question like this testing research skills?

@Jessica Booker Hi, I was wondering if you may be able to share your insights on this, please. Do you think it's fine to list use of common AI like ChatGPT as well?
It gets sent directly from artic shores a few days after you submit the rare form.

I applied to Bird & Bird summer vac scheme on 26 november and haven't heard anything since, not even the WG. Is it worth emailing grad recruitment soon or just assuming PFO?
