I completed it in the last cycle and it is very similar to the WG. The questions reflect a similar vibe to how they are on assessment day. So like one question has like mini questions with a timer attached. Good luck !

oh, post AC? Has this already happened? I am yet to hear post-VI.
Just filled in the Taylor Wessing form and now I can’t access it because of the error. 🫠
Has the form come back for anyone or have you had to start again/set up a new account?

For those who have attended an event with CC have you received your reimbursement payment. I have yet to receive this and was told I’d get it earlier last week then the end and now no communication. I’ve been reimbursed by Willkie who I saw less than a week ago.
@Jessica Booker any advice?

These things can sometimes take a little longer than expected unfortunately. Reimbursement processes can be notoriously slow, especially where it is a one off payment.
If you haven't received it again by end of play of Wednesday, I would call them again. If you need the money reimbursed urgently, then call them today and explain that it getting the reimbursement is important or that you may receive additional bank charges etc if its not paid back soon.

Hiya @C_AJH
If the application form doesn’t have a section specifically for extracurricular activities, you could consider including these experiences in the work experience section. In my own applications, I’ve included pro bono casework roles in the work experience section, even though they were unpaid and part-time commitments. I did this for my Jones Day application without any issues, and it didn't cause any trouble at all. The work experience section often lends itself quite well to discussing any substantive volunteer roles you may have carried out, so this could be a suitable place to highlight them. Best of luck with your application!
Does anyone have any tips on the Bird & Bird question for industry trends? I've looked at AI etc but don't want to be too basic but also equally confused. If anyone has any advice, could be great!

Hiya @agx
Yep, I think Bird & Bird actually puts out some excellent publications on industry trends across a variety of industries. You can access the report here. It's relatively recent and should give you a good sense of the sort of trends currently affecting the key industries that Bird & Bird is particularly well-known in. Hope this helps and good luck with your application!

Mishcon spring vs news anyone?
When I spoke to GR last week, I think they said we'd hear back by Dec 20th. I'm not sure if that's the latest or if that's expected week..
I am having this issue as well! I have emailed the early talent team so will keep on trying and wait for their response

College law society experiences for me very much fit into extracurriculars than work. For student union activities, it depends what you are doing. Many positions within a student union will be work experience though, whether that be an "officer" role or working part-time in the SU Bar.
