Congrats to everyone invited to CC :smile:

On a separate note, these American firms are aggressive as hell! I just found out that Cooley's are planning on launching in London and have raided Edwards Wildman and MoFo to prepare.

I have never watched High School Musical, but I have this feeling that David Cameron's "we're all in this together" tagline was inspired from that song. Now if only he'd sing it during PMQ...

Well done to everyone with CC AC invites. But did any of you apply just before the deadline?

Yeah, submitted my application in the early hours of Monday 5th and then did my VR test in the afternoon.

Thanks. I did both before that date. Looks like I'll just have to wait patiently.

I wrote Dear Sir/Madam

But not sure that's necessarily right - could address it to Graduate Recruitment Team?

Dear X

We have carefully considered your application form for the summer vacation scheme, and unfortunately based on the information you have provided, we regret not to be able to offer you a place on our Non-Law insight workshop. Please do not take our decision as any reflection on your ability or potential as a future solicitor. We do receive a large number of applications and are unable to invite every candidate to interview. We encourage you to make an application to the training contact which is open now until the

31st January.

Definitely didn't apply for the non-law insight workshop (guessing a typo) and TC point is confusing..

Bit of a bad show from them. You'd expect when they insist on attention to detail, they would not make such typos in an email.

PFO from CC for the 'non-law insight workshop' apparently when I applied for the summer vac scheme. It seems law firms don't have to play by the same rules of attention to detail that we have to
