Lewis Silkin question wording help
I applied a little while ago. For this, I focused on the football governance bill and how this could enable the firm to increase it's services to clients and collaborate with other practices such as disputes and corporate governance to lead amongst firms in the sports sector. I choose this for...- bangarangbass39

It’s not fixed. I met multiple vac schemers during my internship who applied to 70+ firms. I’m not exaggerating. They only managed to get to 2 ACs. Bear in mind if you follow that approach, you’ll be applying for firms across the spectrum. From MC all the way to high street. I see around...- bangarangbass39

Travel outside of the UK and back in for less maybe? What's the nearest airport and how much is it to go to Paris? Is it cheaper now? Then get that quick turnover in to London and bosh. Oh maybe fly to Cardiff, then train in to London? 👀- bangarangbass39

Following on from this post, does anyone know the resit policy for the SQE at firms you’ve applied to? I’ve not applied to S+M but I know of a friend who has been allowed to resit. https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/sqe-resit-policy-by-law-firm.8667/- bangarangbass39

For sure. But that also depends on if your firm has billable targets - a lot don’t have them. Of course the US places a greater emphasis on this. I also imagine they’d differ between departments slightly - the market activity affects the work rate of departments differently and so do other...- bangarangbass39

US aint the one for you my brother/sister/them in Christ. At Bakers (an intl firm with US headquarters) everyone emphasised they are not US in culture.

Same as you. Yet, I’m still waiting to hear back. Will update when I get a response. Hope you’re okay! These tests aren’t easy. *I applied for the Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship- bangarangbass39

I'd say Weak - You get a correct answer for picking one of the 3 options, but If we are being precise, I would pick this one. The reason being the benefit is only clear for the public, not the company.- bangarangbass39

I'm so confused by this. I'm considering applying for one firm, DACB and as a non-law grad I'm not sure if I am in the position to apply. For context, I don't have the GDL and will not be planning to take it soon because of the SQE requirements and the additional cost. The firm says this...- bangarangbass39

Hmm, I'm interested in what you think could be offered instead. I understand your frustration is perhaps centred on the contradiction of the dynamic (non-law students are syphoning the law opportunities at uni) but it does come off like you feel they don't deserve it. Or, it's with your view...- bangarangbass39

“gEt rID oF mIckEyy mOuSe degReEessss” Jokes aside. Honestly if you see that way, then fairs.

I think you should give yourself more grace. Not converting is not a failure. More importantly, these firms don’t think of you as a number or that you’re not useful because you didn’t receive a TC from them. You have what it takes, evidently. I dont want to lecture you on reviewing your...- bangarangbass39

I wish I had someone with a similar experience at the start who would have reassured me and pushed me to apply where I truly want to be. Only now, in my 2nd cycle, have I found this confidence to apply at top firms. Personal Context: A levels: ABB - average state school in the midlands. UG in...- bangarangbass39

I don't think it would be legitimate for them to penalise you. The whole point of that recruitment tool is to help disadvantaged candidates where they can. Such as a candidate who completed A levels at a low performing school for example. If it doesn't apply to you, there won't be much use of...- bangarangbass39

Just to clarify and wrap up, I'm interested in what is considered a stand-out score. As you mentioned, my application is considered holistically so even if I do get full marks, I can still have an average written app which pulls me down, especially if the application has a greater weighting on...- bangarangbass39
