    Use this question to show your commercial awareness as well. Demonstrate that you understand the role of a [insert practice area] lawyer and also highlight some of the interesting/challenging things happening in that sector.

    Clifford Chance do the same. It is equally annoying when you pass the written stage and then fail at the WG. They should have the WG open to everyone to start with and then you submit your written app after passing it.

    Interesting. I applied on the 3rd of December. At the Open Day, they said they review them as they come in but no decisions made till after the deadline. Surname is E so hopefully shouldn't have to wait too long haha if they are doing it by that method.
