    Slaughter and May Training Contract Application 2022

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I don't actually know this for sure, but I have heard of a few people who confirmed vac schemes and then actually ended up not attending. if you get other offers and you'd rather go elsewhere then you can, practically speaking, do so. but obviously take into consideration the fact that it will...

    hey! I also can't see half the pages I try to load, but if I try again after like 30 mins sometimes they work how long would TCLA be down for? (I think because most deadlines are Jan 31, maybe one day wouldn't be too bad?)
