How confident are you in your knowledge of the core LLB/PGDL subjects, including Contract, Tort, Trusts, Land, Criminal, and Public Law?
TCLA is teaming up with BPP for a free interactive event designed to refresh your fundamentals, especially for those interested in or planning to take the SQE. We'll practise multiple choice SQE questions, with prizes for the highest scoring participants!
Register HereWas wondering this too so went through the forum and seems like they sent out invites in batches last year! Not over for us yet!If I haven’t heard back from Cooley post WG should I assume PFO? Does anyone know if they send out all their interview invites in one go? The email said we’d find out by next Thursday, but I saw some people received invites already. Tia 🤗
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 thanks!Was wondering this too so went through the forum and seems like they sent out invites in batches last year! Not over for us yet!
They’ve not confirmed interview slots (just asked us to confirm our availability) so they may be assessing their capacity before inviting more people.If I haven’t heard back from Cooley post WG should I assume PFO?

Thank you for mentioning this detail!!They’ve not confirmed interview slots (just asked us to confirm our availability) so they may be assessing their capacity before inviting more people.
It does also say they’ll consider inviting other people for interview if they don’t get a response etc. etc. so I wouldn’t assume a PFO yet.

Does it tell you your scores after you finish it? 🥲Ahhh I bombed this PW SJT. Definitely a PFO 😡😢
Is it that bad? I keep putting it off hahaAhhh I bombed this PW SJT. Definitely a PFO 😡😢
It shows you a graph on 4 qualities it assesses, and mine didn’t look great.Does it tell you your scores after you finish it? 🥲
I’m sure it’ll be fine because I don’t think they will have a pre-determined benchmark since we are the first ones to take it. 🙂
I’m probably going to do mine tomorrow I’m too nervous lmao. 🤣
Honestly, the test was challenging for me tbh ( I don’t really like SJT, much rather prefer WGT).Is it that bad? I keep putting it off haha
Agreed, and a large part of this is that AI is a relatively "new" thing in law with the potential to disrupt the status quo on how things are typically done, so naturally this attracts a dose of skepticism and conservatism. Many different factors for this with some relating to confidentiality (which is why firms have a procurement process), some to a lack of understanding and some to the immaturity of the product. How receptive a client is to AI also does in large part link with that client's own corporate culture and risk appetite.To that I will just add that apparently clients (and particularly large corporates/financial institutions) are very conservative when it comes to legal services. A number of lawyers told me some are quite reluctant to allow the use of new legal tech on their matters. Although it would come with a potential discount, as automatization and increased efficiency will mean a lower number of billables, it seems in many cases they are reticent to accept any level of AI-related legal risk. As such, firms can find themselves in the difficult position of wanting to innovate and use AI but also needing to keep clients happy and untroubled by it.
I'd think less than about the types of exercise, and more about the skills that written exercises are designed to test you on - most skills tested are more or less overlapping.What are the different types of written exercises you can get at AC? I've seen letters, memos and reports. Are there any others I should prepare for?
