Congratulations!! I applied on the deadline day too so hopefully should get a response soon😭🤞🏻
Hi
I am trying to answer the question : Please introduce yourself and tell us why you wish to pursue a legal career at Northridge.
I was wondering what would be expected in the introduce myself section as I have not encountered this type of wording before.
If someone can give me any indication I would really appreciate it.

all the best for your VI!!Hello, is there a question bank anywhere for strength and competency questions for ACs?
@Amma Usman @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam I would be super grateful if you could give insights into what types of questions and what essential points a good answer would contain to do well in an AC Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!HSF PFO - I feel it has to do with academic requirements.
I have terrible A-level grades but got a 2:1 at uni (with inconsistent grades throughout the 3 years) and did the LPC. Also, have a fair amount of paralegal experience.
Is it still worth making new TC/Vac Scheme apps???

@Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu @Amma Usman. I am applying to Trowers & Hamlin's London office. One of their questions asks for a commercial story that I found interesting and how it relates to Trowers. I wanted to talk about foreign investment in the Middle - East as I know Trowers has large presence there. Would it be a bad idea to talk about this because it is not specifically about the London office. The question does not say it has to be office specific. I just thought it showed my interest in their global strategy.
did they send you an initial email saying you past the benchmark on the online test?

ah alright; they also told me that I passed the benchmark but still havent hear anything yet; hoping it's good news I'm on a double-degree in English and French Law, with 1 month experience at BM and have been rejected by A&O, Skadden, S&M, Jones Day, WFG, CC, Capsticks, Cleary and Reed Smith; pretty sure I suck at their tests...
They might consider for spring / summer. It’s not over until it’s over. I emailed them about it all. They confirmed this was the case.
Well done - happy to help here. I did the VI last year. I ended up passing it somehow.

No, I think that will be fine. Generally speaking, I am of the opinion that the 'fit' element of a deal/case (how well it aligns with your motivations/points you are trying to illustrate about the firm) is more important than the recency consideration. Regardless, work done in the past three years I think would be considered by most recruiters to count as 'recent'. Only when you go back further, such as 5 or 6 years, does it start to become a problem.
Beyond this, just generally for your research purposes, I would say not to rely only on the firm's website when looking into deals or cases. Some sites are better than others, but I don't know any one that provides an exhaustive list. Firms merely look to showcase the expertise they deem to be most relevant from a client perspective. For your research purposes, especially if you have a specific type of matter in mind, I would go beyond that and see what I can find on a general Internet search, but also on the firm's LinkedIn profile and on The Lawyer and Law.com.
I'm so sorry to hear that..When did you submit the app if you don’t mind me asking?
