    I just went to submit my MoFo application after spending a couple of days on it, not having been logged out (which admittedly, I did find quite odd), and now I have received an error message and all the information I entered has gone.

    CC say that most successful applicants have completed the forage scheme with them, surely they don't check this? Or do they just go by what applicants have ticked in the application form?

    Depends, a partner's insight on the practice area and how the market is evolving/how they see the firm growing in the coming years, is undoubtedly going to be more worthwhile than a trainee/paralegal's insight. However, a trainee's insight on the culture for fledgling lawyers/work of a trainee...
