Do you guys know how long time we have to answer during a video interview?

Does anyone know how to prepare for an Ashurst AC?

 

[John Travoni]

So

Do you guys know how long time we have to answer during a video interview?

Times tend to vary between 60-180 seconds

I saw that Clifford Chance have their 2023 and 2024 TC app intakes open right now. As a recent law grad, I am eligible for their 2023 right? would it necessarily make a difference with my chances on which year i should apply for?

This confused me a bit as well, but in one of their seminars they were clear that graduates should apply for the 2023 TC and that the 2024 TC is only for current students.

Ah okay, thanks so much!! Would you happen to know what sort of benchmark needs to be met for the WG to progress w/ them?

They only mention final or penultimate year students.

Anyone heard from Slaughter and May WInter Workshop?

I asked a few days ago and got mine today. Anyone who scored above the 18th percentile passed. Email [email protected]

Did they tell you what percentile you scored in?

DLA Piper WG. Seems odd that they say 'we are unable to review you application until this assessment has been submitted' as I thought they did that before the WG's are sent out.

Everyone gets a WG I believe

Actually graduates are eligible to apply for Clifford Chances' 2023 TC
CC state "To apply to this vacancy you must be eligible to start your Training Contract in 2023. If you are eligible to start your Training Contract in 2024 (typically penultimate year law or final year non-law students) you should apply for our Training Contract 2024 vacancy instead. If you are a first year law student, second year student of a four year law degree or penultimate year non-law student you can apply for SPARK."

It also says "If you have neither completed or in your final year of studying a law degree and you have neither completed or in the process of completing the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) you should apply for the Training Contract 2024 vacancy instead." This means that if you have completed your law degree then you can apply for their 2023 TC.
Do people agree with my understanding?

I know of quite a few people that have been rejected. Not seen any progression as of yet so fingers crossed!

I do not know, because CC is known for not accepting graduates. But I might be wrong!
