Official Vacation Scheme Thread 2013 GET ON IT EARLY!!!

Just got a Weil interview invitation! (on a saturday night?!)

Now to figure out how "Weil, Gotshal & Manges" is actually pronounced before the interview...

So I noticed a few errors in my Nabarro application, not counting on getting that back.

Does anyone know how long Ashurst take to respond?

I think it's only limited if she wanted to stay in Scotland for her career. The degree itself will not limit applying to other firms, especially the bigger ones which will fund a year picking up the few relevant English modules (Obligations, Criminal & Land/Equity). Some will have Vacation Schemes open to 'non-law' too. Though it's a commercial/corporate firm, Clifford Chance explicitly states: The term 'law' refers to English law. Any other degree, including Scottish law, is considered non-law.

Though on a personal level, I'm still waiting on a reply as to where a dual qualification in Scottish and English Law falls. I completely forgot to ask at the Law Fair and the deadline is in two days.

This thread is really for those pursuing a career as a solicitor...BUT it is a tough situation to be in. I have been in similar ones where people have indicated they would be willing to help me out with work experience, but then closer to the time have pulled out or never got back to me. The best advice I can give is to keep trying and eventually you will find someone who can help you out. The other thing is to network. Ask your family and friends if they know of anyone in the medical profession who could help you out, even if it is just for a day. This would represent a good starting point and will help you secure further work in the future.

Good luck.

Sorry for asking the question in the wrong forum. Thanks a lot for all your help. I should take the advice on board. Much appreciated

Hey,

For anyone who has had a Weil interview and is based in London - are these all held in Cambridge? Or has anyone had one in London? Don't fancy the trek if I'm honest...
