    Fried Frank Training Contract Application 2025

    I know Fried Frank had their final round interviews at the end of July, so I don't believe there will be any more WGs/interview invites this cycle. Hope this helps you, dapsdrake!

    Norton Rose Fulbright Training Contract Application 2025

    Lol. I'm just going to assume you're having a bad day or something. If I might ask, what are you proposing as a solution then? As far as I can see, besides a dedicated thread, there are only three options that allow people to continue talking about their ongoing NRF applications: 1. Use the...

    Norton Rose Fulbright Training Contract Application 2025

    Genuinely having difficulty wrapping my head around why you have a problem with this thread. If the current cycle's discussion thread is being closed this week then surely that's all the more reason to have a dedicated thread for the ongoing NRF application cycle?

    Norton Rose Fulbright Training Contract Application 2025

    Because I fnished answering the questions. I do have a habit of talking a million words per minute when I'm nervous so I think I just blazed through the questions.

    Had my interview a couple of days ago and it barely lasted 10 minutes 😅

    Anyone else done a WG where they start to get worried as they are constantly answering in the negative "conclusion does not follow", "weak argument", etc.) 😅

    I need to vent anonymously. Arctic Shores might be some of the biggest load of rubbish I've ever had to go through for a job application. Yes, I realise the tests are designed to predict traits like stubbornness or short-term memory capacity. However, I can't imagine they are able to draw any...

    Looking at messages from last year, it doesn't seem they get back to anyone until August. Seems like ages since I submitted my app!

    Would trying to learn a language in your spare time be considered a non-academic interest?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Those of you who have done case studies/commercial exercises as part of an interview process please share your experiences with me lol Just had a third-stage interview and case study for a TC. The interview I felt went very well, but the case study was so difficult. I really struggled to get...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    For anyone who applied to Freshfields, when you go to view your application are you not able to see the file you uploaded as your personal statement? I'm getting that typical anxiety I didn't upload a file/uploaded the wrong file and would have liked to check to confirm 😂

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I thought I was using my experience, but perhaps not to the extent I should be. Definitely something I should consider and further work upon. I've been applying for a mix of direct TCs and VS'. I'd much rather a direct TC, but it does seem most firms recruit mostly from their VS intake. I...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    PFO after PFO... Feeling a bit lost now. I had 2 vac schemes this year that I failed to convert, and every application I do this cycle is coming back with rejection. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong. I somewhat suspect that it may be because I'm approaching my 30s and firms want younger...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Okay, that's good to know. Thanks! However, if that is the case, am I correct in assuming rolling basis is more a means of encouraging a steadier stream of applications? I'm curious why firms would state they are on a rolling basis if it makes little impact on their decision making.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Weighing my options between applying to Bird & Bird's Spring or Summer VS. They are rolling and the deadline for Spring is this Friday, so Summer would be safer. But I'd really rather do a Spring VS...

    Really not sure it's worth applying to Arnold & Porter considering they only have two places and one generally goes to Vac Schemers. Seems like a lot of effort to do an app with such low chances of return!?

    Hey guys, I'm back again after failing to convert my vac schemes. Slightly mortifying, but after a day of pitying myself, I'm ready to get back into the application process. Been doing some reading and it seems not converting vac schemes is not nearly as rare as I had thought, which has made me...

    I was reading the comments on Legal Cheek's 'Career Conundrums' section regarding posting "Incoming Vac Schemer" on LinkedIn, and whilst it's no secret that anonymous comments tend to bring out the worst in people, I was surprised by how strongly opinionated most commenters are on such a trivial...

    Re: the BCLP question, I believe the word limit is a bit tight so if you start listing everyone and their pet hamster you’re going to be left wanting for motive. Why you would seek to build relations is just as (if not more) important.

    Good to hear. I’m a bit of a peacock so have a few pieces of jewelry I’m rather fond of 😜 I wouldn’t wear any of them in a formal setting, but would be nice to not have to completely abandon them to the weekend.
