I have just got the SJT. Submitted my application on the deadline. I am assuming the SJT is automatic?

 

[Tclarocks123]

Is the Freshfields SJT automatic?

Congrats!!!! Didn't realise they were still giving out VIs. Do people think we will still get more information about the written exercise by the end of Jan?

I think so, just got one and the deadline was only a couple days ago so must be.

thank you! mine was a unique case since there was some misunderstanding about my starting year so it got reviewed later. As per my knowledge, the VI stage is done for most and the next stage should begin anytime soon.

If you do have tips - please lmk

anyone heard from Debevoise?

Last time i applied i did not make it to the SJT, but the way the Email is phrased it seems automatic so I don't know

 

[BillSikes]

Freshfields TC WG

It’s not WG unfortunately it’s an automatic test they have added

 

[Chill_solicitor]

Any Freshfields AC invites or PFO post WG?

anyone heard from Linklaters for Summer VS?

 

[g.cl.2020344]

anyone else just received this email from Latham for spring VS application?

Thank you for your application to the vacation scheme at Latham & Watkins.

Due to the volume of applications we received we are still working through reviewing these. We are therefore hoping to provide you with a further update on the status of your application within the end of February.

Thank you in advance for your continued patience.

Should I keep my hopes up or just give up on Latham?

heya, I didn't receive this email- is it post assessment?

 

[MR10]

anyone heard from pinsent or squires

 

[sooae]

heya, I didn't receive this email- is it post assessment?

They just sent this morning. Maybe check your spam. It seems like a very generic email telling us to be patient lol
