Highly recommend them - I used to do them back in the day and they were good events to go to for both firms and students.

Thanks guys, I've updated the main thread with these. Have also included the upcoming campus presentations for Shearman & Sterling.

If anyone has more virtual opportunities, please continue to post in this thread and I'll update the main list.

Are virtual campus presentations only limited to students from that university? If so, can graduates from that university also attend?

Good question - I guess it would depend if it is organised with a particular university but on the graduate's question - I imagine they would be able to attend as I was always able to go to my university's events etc and cannot imagine virtual ones would be different. I cannot be sure on this though and it might take some digging and research to find the answers.

it may vary from firm to firm or even from event to event. I expect you will be able to attend more than not though.

Thank you @Alice G and @Jessica Booker - both very helpful answers. I will certainly have a look at the firms I am applying to

Bumping this thread, as LCN have produced a very handy list of open days and insight programmes, most of which I suspect will now be online:

How many students are accepted to attend these events? Is it a more personal experience with fewer students or is there a large number like the Legal Cheek events?

On Thursday 19 November, CMS is hosting the final webinar in their skills series. This one will tackle assessment days: it will help you learn about the typical structure of assessment centres, how best to tackle each challenge and some of the skills necessary to stand out.

This is a free webinar, open to everyone. Make sure to sign up as places are filling up quickly!
