SSTs aren't really something you can prepare for. Just be sure to have a look at the competencies and what the firm expects of trainees and think to yourself how they would want you to act in certain situations. Also, remember to be consistent with your approach.- Ricky

BCLP sends out like 2 or 3 different generic feedback emails. Was this feedback given to you after asking or automatically?- Ricky

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
Completely agree about culture. Have heard several GR say don't talk about it in applications as it is just too generic. There is so much else to talk about and link back to you.- Ricky

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
My view: 1. Identify the challenges the firm faces in the legal market focussing on the client perspective and then what it can do to overcome them: gaining new clients, retention, pricing models, ALSPs, onshoring etc. 2. How does the firm differentiate itself from others: training, work...- Ricky
