Day 2500 of repeating the question - has anyone heard anything from HogLov? Or emailed them?
I believe last year they worked through summer VS applications before dealing with TC apps. I think the deadlines were slightly different this year so might not be the same but I wouldn't expect anything yet. Their summer VS deadline is relatively late and will have had a huge number of apps.

I think you're absolutely correct, I'd just say that they probably shouldn't advertise their TC as rolling in that case

    With the 30 month programme, you do your SQE during the training contract, so you would have between 2024 and 2025 to do the PGDL before starting.
    Hi Jessica.

    Do Kennedys allow deferrals to the following year to finish a PGDL if you’ve dropped to part time due to full time working as a litigation assistant? Since Kennedys “sponsor” the PGDL fees would the firm reimburse the fees paid for the PGDL if you’ve already started?! Would this be the case even if a TC offer is made at the end of the first year of PGDL? Thanks
