    How to research which practice area I could be interested in? (non-law student)

    Hi :) many firms will have practice area-specific events, e.g. HSF did a few presentations in corporate and disputes, most of which require no application so I'd definitely recommend attending those. They usually have lawyers talking about their day-to-day tasks, specific cases they've worked on...

    Hard to answer because most firms have numerous questions/a cover letter! Linklaters is the most straight-forward application I can think of - you need to complete their online assessment and a Watson Glaser test. But if you progress you will have to answer some questions I believe. Maybe other...

    It's quite similar to Linklaters' test, if you've done it. It's basically an SJT.

    https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/vacation-scheme-deadlines-2021-2022-law-firm-list-with-opening-and-closing-dates.4056/ I think the Dechert Winter VS is only if you're willing to start at an earlier date (I think 2022), but not 100% sure!

    Can anyone access the new page for Mayer Brown applications? It's still showing all deadlines passed 🙃

    Not necessarily only paid employment, but you do have to be selected due to the limited options you can input. For your second question, it's up to you but probably more beneficial if you select a few and go into detail.

    It's not an optional question, so I think you have to provide an answer for your application to be considered completed. Legal Cheek and All About Law have some events going on this week, if you'd like to include some!

    Hey, have you completed it? If so, would you mind saying if it's mainly SJT or critical or?

    When you do the WG test on the application page, it will give you a final deadline of when you need to have submitted everything by - hope that helps!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Not Jessica, but I was successful in passing both so I may be of help. The workshop statement is essentially a shorter TC personal statement. For eg instead of including three motivations for applying to the firm, I mentioned two and condensed them more. I also cut down my 'why law' paragraph...
