"With reference to a particular area of law, what do you find to be the most interesting about it?"

Any idea what 'area of law' refers to? Would either corporate law or M&A work (although I wouldn't say the latter is an area of law)?
HI @Legalregal, I am working on the same question. Did you manage to figure this out? How did you approach this? I am thinking of including a M&A hot topic in my discussion but wonder if it goes off topic. Grateful for any tips!

Does anyone know how many people Slaughter and May invite to interview versus how many offers they make? I.e., what are the chances of a Vac Scheme offer once at interview, versus pre-interview
I’d stress it doesn’t quite work like this.

In a situation where they didn’t want to make offers, they would either invite more people to interview or would just take fewer vacation schemers.

Generally firms will work on the basis of bringing somewhere between 2-4 candidates per vax scheme place though, especially to also factor in people who will decline the offer too.

    Did anyone else receive this email from Slaughter & May?
    "Thank you for your application.
    Unfortunately, we will be unable to process your application without your results from the most recent academic year.
    We appreciate that a number of universities are affected by the marking boycott. If you are affected, please send any coursework marks or predicted results you have received to date instead.
    In the meantime, please could you send this to us by 18 January. If we do not hear from you by this date, unfortunately we will be withdrawing your application."

    I received 2 grades out of 4 and i added this on the application form- should i just wait to see if i get my remaining grades by the end of December before sending the same 2 grades I put on the application form?
