Last one of the day I promise 😅, has anyone else heard from Milbank? They have definitely given out ac’s andsome rejections but I’ve heard nothing.
Have they def given out rejections? I thought they're a firm that ghosts you if its a PFO. I havent heard anything

    Ngl I really dislike when people ask this when someone is clearly upset about a PFO. I saw someone post in Dec that they were really upset about a rejection and someone asked this question - like bro, bit insensitive :/

    OMG LITERALLY

    I was on a work call and I just saw an email pop up on my phone saying 'Application Update' followed by "Thank you again for applying for our Vacation Scheme. We just wanted to get in touch to provide you with an update. Due to the high volume of applicants we have received this year..." I was like

    Definitely should organise some TCLA drinks as soon as possible!

    In the meantime, we could organise some virtual drinks and a pub quiz type thing. Who's keen? Thinking in a couple of weeks time once all the assessments etc are done would be ideal. If sufficient interest could start a new 'Social Thread' to arrange.

    I wish they would put some indication in the subject of the email as to whether it's going to be a positive or negative response! That moment of opening the email in anticipation is the worst...

    Just wondering how to interpret this question:

    Womble Bond Dickinson has been recognised as an innovator within the legal profession. Tell us about a business or person you feel has been particularly innovative; why do you find them innovative and are there any lessons that we can learn from them?

    Does the 'we' here refer to WBD itself or 'we' in the broader sense, as a society?

    Pretty sure they are referring to WBD. Attended the webinar yesterday and they answered a query about the question from this stance :)
