Weil just replied to my email. they hope to come back to all candidates by end of next week.

is that only AC or VI as well? sorry such an annoying question I know haha

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

Thanks so much for this! Just wondering, which webinar was that?

I assume they mean interviews as that is what I asked about.

How likely is it that this will come up as a written task in an assessment centre?: READ THE STANDING ORDERS. READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM.

unlikely because it'd be ILLEGAL

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?

I'm in the process of applying and assumed it was from WBD's perspective.

Anyone else still waiting to hear from Eversheds post-VI? Submitted last Tuesday so around 10 days ago, they're my last hope but the VI was awful so preparing for the PFO.

In the first 10 seconds someone whispers "f*ck off" and honestly mood

Me to the rejection emails I get: you have no authority here Jackie Weaver. No authority at all

You know that we have nothing better to do when a parish council meeting goes viral...

 

[TopCFCPlayer]

Yes - that is feasible depending on the data retention policy.

Thanks for your reply Jessica!
Are we allowed to ask a firm to delete our old applications/personal information?

Anyone who attended TCLA's law firm as a business webinar, could someone please explain why higher leverage equals higher revenue for each partner? I remember him saying that if associates worked for free, you've leveraged up time - I don't understand this, because wouldn't you want associates to be paid? Or have I misheard this/am i missing the whole point 😅 TIA!

Me emailing all the firms I applied to: you can refer to me as Britney Spears from now on.
