    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey! I don't have a definitive answer but based on what I have seen, Latham uses both approaches. For example, you can do a seat and qualify into a department called Entertainment, Sports & Media, where you do things that are sector-focused in various capacities. But equally you could join...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I have tips for this too! When you do research for the questions, say what your sources are! GR mentioned this for applicants to do at their Open Day. So if you mention something The Lawyer published, say the name of the publication in your writing. (I don't do this in other applications, but...

    Hey hey! You can do a practice SST here: https://practice.cappassessments.com/Sst/Sst.html From my understanding an SST is different from a SJT because questions set out to also evaluate different strengths. So I think that multiple answers can be "right" because the test is looking at what...

    Clifford Chance TC

    I completely forgot about CC but I also didn't get any updates on the 14th. I'm hoping that they received far more non-priority applications than they had hoped for and they extend the timeline they gave. @John Smith — I'm not sure what their pass mark is but CC compares your scores to their...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey! I haven’t yet submitted a TC application to Freshfields because they don’t recruit on a rolling basis but I did attend an insight day with them two weeks ago. So feel free to PM if you have any application/firm-related questions.

    I would qualify it with the number of hours you worked there on average per week so GR sees that your accomplishments are really impressive in light of that!

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I recently did the CAPP test for the direct TC, two months after an unsuccessful winter VS application. And all my strengths and weaknesses are different?! I don’t really understand because I thought I had not changed much about my approach. My lowest now is Motivation, which I’m kind of bummed...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Hey! I also felt that it was difficult but I think the WG is less important for Links than the CAPP test.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Does the WG need to be done by the deadline or only the CAPP assessment?

    Is applying to vac schemes still worth it if I'm going to US law school next year?

    In the US, big law firms and other institutions don’t typically offer undergraduate internship experiences so it is not expected that undergraduates have commercial law experiences. That said, work experience is still highly valued. I would advise you to find an internship where you really will...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Received an SST invite for Reed Smith this afternoon! (I submitted my app closely after their second Open Day.) If anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear. So far none of my apps with situational components progressed, so I'm slightly panicked about the SST.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I went to Reed Smith's Open Day and they mentioned that they are not "assessing" that question on prizes. They include this question as a way for you to show your personality and interests to give "flavor" (their words) for the interview stage. If I were you, I would aim to showcase unique...
