Did anyone attend the Proskauer Rose open evening on the 22nd of Jan? If so can you please pm me!

I am so confused about Proskauer's TC situation - can't seem to find anything about applying for a TC on their actual website but there is some information about it on ziplaw??

Haven't received my HL pfo yet. I assume they will give the rest out this afternoon? That's what happened when Bakers rejected me at least. Bunch of people in the morning and the rest (me included) in the afternoon.

I might be missing some info so apologies if this is a silly question but.. why do you think you are set to get a PFO? I haven’t seen any HL invites yet so surely there’s a good chance you get an invite?
wishing for some happy news for you shortly 🍀

Signed,

Hi @Ram Sabaratnam, I hope you are well.

I do not know if you have specific experience with V&E VI, but could you offer any advice on how to best approach my preparation?
I am a bit desperate as I keep failing VIs.
Thank you in advance.

Keep your head up, good things are just around the corner. If I remember correctly, you still have a freshfields app - being invited to WG for them is already a very good sign.
With your experience (first year schemes etc) & knowledge, the right thing will undoubtedly come along. Stay strong ❤️

Thank you so much that has helped a ton! I pray the same for you too!!

Hi - does anyone have any insight into Morrison Foerster's first stage interview? It would be my first in-person interview so I am quite nervous and would really appreciate any advice !! 😊

Hi all, if I haven't heard from the following firms whatsoever (either after test or nothing at all), should I assume PFO?:

Latham SVS (post test)
Weil (haven't gotten anything)
Goodwin (haven't gotten anything)
Milbank (haven't gotten anything)
Cooley (didn't get VI invite)
Katten (haven't gotten anything)
Farrer & Co (haven't gotten anything)
Jones Day (haven't gotten anything)
Akin (haven't gotten anything)
Sidley Austin (haven't gotten anything)

Also waiting on Withers post-test, didn't get V&E invite which I heard is auto-PFO
