People applying to W&C vac scheme: under the question “please give us details of careers events you have attended”, what do you speak about if you hadn’t attended any W&C specific events? Just insight days you’ve attended at other law firms? Should you link these to W&C somehow, or are they literally just asking about experiences you pursued and not how they’re relevant to your application to W&C?

I don’t think you will need an explicit link to W&C but focusing on the events more connected to the type of work the firm does would make sense. I don’t think you need to say anything that would use White & Case as a reference point in this answer.
