The value of Insight/Open Days?
Wow, thank you so much! That is very relieving to hear. Just an extra question, do you think law firms with smaller trainee intakes consider Insight/Open Day attendees more seriously?- PlimptonWeld

To apply or not to apply? (1st year)
I'm already due to attend a banking event in April and it will clash with the 1st year scheme at Freshfields.

Cover letter questions
I'm hoping to apply to a few 1st Year schemes; the covering letter is a requisite and I was wondering if you were allowed to namedrop other firms in the cover letter or would that be a no-no? Eg.

Open Day Application Question?
Thanks for the advice, Jessica. I was wondering how I can highlight a specific firm without regurgitating law firm stats.? I've read some Law Firm Recruiter articles; they all seem to agree in consensus that they don't want to be told that their firm 'ranked Band No.1 in Corporate/M&A...- PlimptonWeld

Prospective Corporate Lawyer - what to do?
I'm an incoming History undergraduate this year; careers-wise, I've been thinking about corporate law recently. I used to dream about becoming a Historian (doing a Masters then PhD) but my mates took the mickey out of me being unemployed for life (haha). Jokes aside, a great mentor/teacher at...- PlimptonWeld
