    Last year I heard an hour after the interview but I am noticing that they are taking a little bit more now so I would say a couple of days to a week. Alternatively, you might want to email them if a long time has passed to just ask for an update.

    I do not know what you mean by 'structure', but I think that it is important to analyse the topic from a positive as well as a negative lense, meaning highlighting the positive aspects of the use of technology and AI but also what are some of the negative consequences of its use, for example the...

    Yes, you can, there is nothing stopping you from applying provided you have more experiences to talk about in your experiences but unless a law firm specifically makes it clear that you cannot apply, always assume that your application is welcomed!

    Using LinkedIn and following partners working at the firm on LinkedIn since sometimes they will share deals they worked on and share details on them too, and they will also repost the client's posts which might be helpful.

    I think you could mention a couple and develop your answer around them. Public speaking is good if it is something you struggle with and yes I would definitely talk about how you are improving this.
