    GDL outside of London

    So I asked my firm where people do the GDL and they said usually it's at the Waterloo campus of BPP, so that trainees can get to know one another. But I'm a bit cautious about moving to London because what if there are further lockdowns etc. So far I don't know any other non-law people in my...

    Anyone else still not heard from Sullivan & Cromwell? I applied very early one. My application was put on 'hold'. There appears to be one or two people further up thread who say they've been invited to interview.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I also got rejected for their vac scheme after doing their first year workshop. My application was checked over by a trainee who said it was good. My hunch is that they use the first year workshop as a first round interview of sorts. If you didn't speak up or make a point in the sessions then...

    GDL outside of London

    Hi there, I’m applying for TCs at US law firms in London. Quite a few say that their preferred provider/provider is BPP. I’ve been wondering if it would be possible to do the GDL outside of London or at a different institution other than BPP. Only because it might be nice and cheaper (!) to...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hi, does anyone know how many more offers than trainee spots that law firms make? Say a firm intends to recruit 10 trainees. How many TC offers will they give out? Does knowing that a candidate already have a TC offer, make a firm more likely to offer them one too? or less likely? Because not...
