    Yep, they basically told me they wouldn’t review the app until they received the letter from my Academic referee. Never had something like this happen before. If your academic referee gets your letter to them within the 5-8 days (they have 10 days to do so) you should be fine :)

    Hey :) This is a very specific question. Why do you want a legal career in the City specifically? Many regional firms have exceptional commercial practices as well, but they aren’t in the City. So be sure to make your answer slightly more focussed than you would if you were answering ‘why...
