I usually put any big or long lasting pro bono placements under work history/experience unless they have a section about volunteering!
Yes, you can include these either in employment or if you would prefer, put it in a volunteering section on a CV. Some people choose to put these things in extra curriculars too - it's one.of the grey areas where it could fit into different sections depending on the rest of your experiences and where you think works best

Danke!

    FINALLY got a response from Winckworth Sherwood after waiting since Jan 17th. The standard of apps was apparently super high and they only had 10 vac scheme places so they've only offered them to candidates 'who most needed the work experience', but I got through to the Direct TC interview stage! Only took them TWO AND A HALF MONTHS though! Sheesh

    From Travers:

    Thank you for your patience regarding the status of your application for a Summer Vacation Scheme.

    We are sorry to inform you that we will not be holding any further interviews. We realise how disappointing this is but we have experienced a higher volume of applications than usual and, unfortunately, we are unable to interview everyone who has applied.

    If the firm is still of interest, please visit our website in mid-July for further information about the Training Contract application process for September 2023.

    Unfortunately, we are unable to provide feedback at this stage. As we mentioned, due to the high volume of applications received we simply ran out of spaces and were unable to interview everyone who applied.

    Once again, please do accept our sincere apologies for the delay you have experienced. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for the interest you have shown in Travers Smith.

    Atleast now I know what to expect from them since I did my application back in November
