    Yeah - when I did it for the winter scheme it was the typical video interview questions. 30secs prep 90 secs to speak. Still need to do research on firm I would recommend though

    Definitely finance and they are growing rapidly within litigation and dispute resolutions practices too chambers and legal500 are good sources to look at in identifying strong practice areas

    I’d say go for it. Most people I believe apply within 72 hours of a deadline.

    It honestly depends on the firm. I’ve made mistakes such as “winter” instead of “spring” and been successful through the application stage. Hindsight is a useful tool but it’s also stressful. As my mum usually says : it’s done now there is no point stressing about it anymore :) just try to relax...

    Frankly I don’t think you can prepare for them other than make sure you’re well rested. Especially for Artic shores as they can take a while.

    Some firms do offer additional financial assistance for things like that. You just need to ask if they can. It won’t be construed as rude as they will be able to understand peoples finances are different.

    Personally, I would argue as that is tomorrow. 23.59. But do not take my word for it. I would just do it today to be on the safe side if no one else gets back to you.

    Can I ask how you prepared? Do they do a range of commercial, situation and competency questions?
