Congrats! Is this for spring or summer?

Summer

 

[I’m_Batman]

Today is the final deadline for a lot of apps. If you think it’s too late for you, my first ever AC was at BCLP and I applied on closing day 20 minutes before deadline.

It’s not too late. Do that application.

I can offer insights on a bunch of firms having done so many apps over the last few cycles. Feel free to message me.

Anyone have a list of deadlines that close at 11:59 today?

Feeling a little motivated after Jaysen’s email.

I was interested in a few but the deadlines were at lunch time today.

Anyone know what time Orrick deadline is? Are all deadlines 23:59?

 

[scotstudent23]

Just had it a couple days ago; I think it went pretty well. How about yourself?

Oh well done! Fingers crossed for you. Mine is next week 🙂. I wonder how many people they are taking to the AC stage, do you know? Hope your presentation etc went well

@Jessica Booker- I want to purchase one of the TCLA written exercise packs as I have my first-ever AC written exercise coming up (OC AC), I was wondering which one I should select between the Technical written exercise and the Legal and Commercial Analysis written exercise. What is the difference between the two? Thanks

Hi!

The technical exercise is contract-based exercise, whilst the legal and commercial analysis exercise is based on analysing a law firm's thought leadership article and providing a recommendation to a client. It seeks to test comprehension, analysis and succinctness.

All the best of luck for your first AC - you've got this!

Anyone still awaiting response from Mishcon post app?

Does anyone know any mid-small firms in London with their deadline being today? Not the firms that are on the deadline list on TCLA please.

If we haven't received any updates from Kirkland (not even VI!), is it safe to consider it a PFO at this point? Applied on 30 Dec.

 

[johnnn821]

Anything from Goodwin for those who are still waiting?

I already considered it a PFO (didn't receive a VI either) because apparently they already finished their first round of AC

I applied on 3rd of Nov

Yep I am … curious how many people have received VIs from mishcon for the summer scheme since the deadline passed??
