I completed the job stimulation for Mayer Brown before the deadline but on the portal it now says "deadline passed" instead of "finished." (whereas the earlier SST and VRT says "finished") Should I email the firm to confirm they have received my job stimulation results?

I think this has happened to most people (including me and a couple of my mates). I wouldn't worry to be honest, I'm sure the firm will be aware of this and it won't be an issue.

'Under review' means that you met the benchmark and passed the test, I think?
(That's what it was like last year)

I received the report in my rejection e-mail, it said something along the lines of 'if you wish to generate feedback report...click here'.
My application portal says 'under review', but I did not receive an email saying that or that I passed the test. I did, however, receive a test feedback report. Does that ('under review') mean that I passed the test and they are reviewing my app?

What kinds of examples help demonstrate integrity? Everything I can think of relates better to reliability than integrity.
Upholding your personal/professional norms while working is the best example IMO (with professional norms being a much better example, because, well, you are applying to a law firm:). And I think it directly relates to reliability.
