    I mean if you think about it extracurriculars are also discriminatory. I’m at Oxbridge and I can 100% tell you that I have more access to extracurriculars than others at RG unis let alone non-RG unis, because of the college system its a lot less daunting to get involved/start ur own society, so...

    tbf I think ropes is one of the SEO London sponsor firms that progress you straight to AC if you did well on their SEO London events which shoes they’re huge in diversity and inclusion and I think by having only that written answer to assess applicants they’re able to completely eliminate these...

    Yeah of course, I mean I’m in final year and didn’t attend a single event until last july and have received multiple vac scheme offers so its very very possible.

    i think unfortunately with any graduate career that pays as much as law does, there will be a huge influx of candidates, and I 100% think law is tending towards a similar process to investment banking where if you didn’t complete a spring week in first year you essentially have no chance...

    i know i’m quite late to join this discussion but what you said is interesting because I really got the impression its so much easier to transfer offices at MC firms than it is at US firms...

    To add a different perspective, at Cambridge majority of STEM subjects but not humanities are graded on a curve, and that curve can be incredibly harsh with the bottom 10% of the year group being forced to get a third, and only top 15% get a first/following 35% getting a 2.1, this means that...

    I got asked a v similar question and I think in that case an escrow account would potentially be used to store a percentage of the money the seller gets until the threat is over?? I’m not 100% sure though

    Tbf I don’t know much about Jones Day in the UK but they have been through quite a bit in the US (gender discrimination lawsuit etc). Regarding reputation, if Kirkland can get away with representing Jeffrey Epstein and still be successful I think Jones Day won’t rlly be affected by this.
