    Im not familiar with fieldfisher's app process but it seems like to me that it means final year students in an undergraduate degree. I would check with grad rec whether graduates can apply

    Thanks @iolitelegal for voicing your opinions. I agree with your points that aspiring lawyers during the app process need an ability to handle stress. Lawyers definitely have very stressful jobs and knowing how to manage it is very important. At the same time, I also strongly believe that...

    I would break it down into general awareness of affairs, news, what's going on. But also your understanding of business, how they make money, what they're concerned about. Too many people think if they digest the FT they're 'commercially aware' but it's going a bit deeper

    Very unlikely as the deadline for macfarlanes was last week and it's unlikely they've read and processed all applications already. And for links, I've heard they're running ACs until end of Feb so no worries!!
