    3PB (Winchester) called me last Monday (17th) asking for confirmation of my degree classification (I was applying on a predicted grade, pre finals). They said I'd hear back within the next couple of weeks. Haven't heard anything further yet.

    Has anyone heard from Holborn Chambers? They were supposed to let us know yesterday. Anyone called to find out what the delay is?
    I've still not heard anything from them. The not hearing is just torture - really hope it doesn't drag on into the weekend!

    Very random, but they didn't happen to say when their other branches would be interviewing?

    No they didn't- sorry! I do know that generally they're running behind schedule this year. Fingers crossed for you.

    I have no idea, it says on the website to expect an advocacy exercise. Anyone who interviewed at London what was the interview like?

    I might be being shortsighted here but where does it say on the website that there might be an advocacy exercise?

    Hi - has still no one heard from 15NBS? I rang them about 5 weeks ago and the lady in charge told me she would be sending invites the next week, since then I haven't managed to get back through to her. Anyone had more information? Thanks.

    I interviewed there last year, the first round is fairly standard. Wasn't given an exercise, but had a few questions linked to current affair issues... what do you think of the HRA and what law would you change etc. Then questions on my CV.
