Hi! I always think they do these kinds of things in batches so if you applied close to the deadline, I would be more inclined to give it a further day or two and then get in contact? Just for reference, I applied a few days before the deadline but then I had issues with my online testing so I didn't get to complete it till 1st Jan which was pretty late!

Hi Samar, I was the same! I had to contact grad recruitment about issues with the test and that was the only way I found out about the duplicate applications! You're probably right, hopefully I've just been missed off of the recipient list and will hear something soon
fingers crossed for you!
No news is good new in travers case. I was rejected a few weeks ago for summer scheme, so maybe they're going through apps?
Anyone got any tips for the Macfarlanes application? Also, if you've mentioned a lot about your non-academic interests & previous work experiences in the questions already, would it be smarter in your cover letter to focus on your interest in commercial law & Macfarlanes? Or shall I repeat myself? Thanks so much in advance

I would suggest for the cover letter talk about your interest in commercial law more, and tie why being a commercial lawyer at Macfarlanes are ideal for your career ambitions. Their ‘friendship network’ and having one office only is something you could consider. There’s no need to repeat stuff makes the application lack quality! As there’s a question on extra-curricular/positions of responsibility and their word count is quite a lot
First post on here
So i've just received an invite for a VI interview with Eversheds for the VS in Newcastle. I've never done a VI before so if anyone has any tips or hints about what questions they may ask or which things would be best to look over then I would be grateful. Also any just general do's and don'ts for VI

If you are offered a TC they will give you a timeframe in which to accept or reject the offer which I believe is usually 4 weeks. In the law society voluntary code of conduct it stipulates that once you are made an offer and accepted it, you must inform all other employers who have made you a TC or VS offer that you have accepted a TC elsewhere and are therefore withdrawing from the rest of the recruitment process.
You can apply for an extension on the time limit of an offer and that may be granted depending on the reason given. No guarantee.
