AC - is each part given equal weight?
Yeah this will literally be firm by firm I'm afraid. Some firms will heavily prioritise the interview, some firms will require you to do well in all 3 of the assessed parts of the day... there's no real way of knowing so best bet is to just give all of them your best shot!- Daniel Boden

Yes this is a pretty normal thing to happen so no harm in asking the firm to either transfer to a different VS or to the direct TC route - be prepared for them to say no, but it does happen so feel free to ask :)- Daniel Boden

Definitive Guide to Law Firm Case Studies! *Monday Article Series*
I occasionally did bullet points but majored on using headings mostly. If you think bullet points will help convey to the reader the meaning of what you are trying to say better than longer, wordier sentences then go for it imo! But in most cases, a law firm will want to see how you draft so I...- Daniel Boden

Goodbye, Fiat: Tesla’s Investment in Bitcoin
The main issue I think that exists for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at least for the time being is the incredible volatility that seems to be commonplace with such assets. For instance, a few weeks ago bitcoin dropped by around 20% and so, hypothetically, imagine if you are in a taxi and...- Daniel Boden

Converting your vacation scheme into a training contract - top tips in 2021
Just to add to @Dheepa's point, most firms organise practice area talks for the vacation scheme candidate with various lawyers from all sorts of different of areas so it's normal to follow-up with them after the talks have taken place and arrange to ask any further questions you may have- Daniel Boden
