It isn't a trick question. The firm is just trying to understand how you are using such tools, if why you are deciding not to.Any suggestions on this question? Obviously depends on whether you use it or not but can't work out whether its a bit of a trick question?

There’s no VI in the initial SJT, but if you progress to the job simulation (life at Mayer Brown test), there are like 5 VI questionsapologies if this has been asked before but is there any vi component in mayer brown's direct tc process at all? the website says there is but ive seen contradictory info on the forum.
thanks a tonThere’s no VI in the initial SJT, but if you progress to the job simulation (life at Mayer Brown test), there are like 5 VI questions
Also interested.Does Stephenson Harwood take a heathy percentage of trainees from the direct TC route?
No news so far, only a feedback report. Last years forums suggest a big delay.Has anyone progressed to job simulation with Mayer Brown post-SJT? Or alternatively, has anyone got PFO post-SJT? Any news at all?
Oh that’s decent, definitely worth applying! Thank you!Last year it was around 15 i believe
I would definitely take this list with a pinch of salt. For example, it says NRF is 50-100% but, as we know, they haven’t opened the direct TC route this year. Last year, it had multiple firms listed as healthy intake who didn’t open direct TC too. It’s the best resource we have ofc but worth asking here anyway too or reaching out to people as it’s not always accurate.TCLA have a list which shows whether firms recruit solely from VS, solely from DTC, or a mix of both. It also shows the % recruited from both routes as well. I have pasted the link below:
It seems that Stephenson Harwood takes around 50% from both VS and DTC. 🙂

Was this post AC and when did you get it?With a Milbank VS PFO, I am now out of the running for any VSs this cycle. Do you have any advice for getting into applying for TCs this late in the cycle? (I am currently a penultimate-year law student)
