    Open Evening Attire

    I've got an Open Evening tomorrow but, alas, tragedy has struck as I have realised I've hit the weights a bit too hard this year and my suit no longer fits me 😭 (obviously I'm an idiot and should've tried it on sooner). Will I will be able to get away with a shirt, nice quarter zip, smart...

    This might be a stupid question but I received the DLA Piper Watson Glaser invite on the 8th and I plan on completing it on Sunday (the 12th). Given that grad rec said ' Please complete our online assessment within 5 days' I presume this should be okay? Not sure if I'm being paranoid 😅

    Vinson & Elkins are pretty well known for their energy work. White & Case is another big player in this sphere too, along with Milbank. On the shipping side, I think Stephenson Harwood and HFW are ranked pretty highly.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2022-23

    @Jessica Booker do you know if a distinction in the GDL might balance out a low 2:1 at undergrad (at least from a firm's perspective)? Slaughter's was always on my radar but I had written it off because of my undergrad results. Are firms likely to even care about the GDL or is it more of a so...

    Does anyone know what Paul Hastings' strengths in the UK are? Keep seeing things about them being strong in funds work but Chambers/Legal 500 says otherwise.

    I imagine if law firms didn't let you use their shortened names, anyone applying to 'Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom' would have a tough time with word count.
