Me too. Unsworth said there wasn't many first years on the insight day... Like 6 or 7.

Will be interesting anyway!

I'm wondering if they will give accommodation for the night before.. I'm going to be at HSF the day before and don't really fancy going home just to go back to London the next day!

Yeah there wasn't too many of us on the one I went to in December, no idea what it will be like for you two.

Regarding accommodation - I doubt that they will do that, very rare for any firm to offer that for a one day event, only firm I know of that does is Slaughter and May - no harm in asking though!

CC gave it for their Open Day! But alas L&W have said no, which is a pain as their office is literally a 7 min walk from HSF!

Hey guys, just dropping by for some advice because I'm not clued up on legal schemes.

I got an invite to L&W open day, and was wondering how valuable this is?

I'm not particularly focused on law as a career choice, and have an insight at another magic circle firm.

The L&W open day clashes with another (non-law) event and I'm trying to weight up how useful/prestigious/competitive it is?

Thanks! :smile:

Offer from Linklaters for their 2 day pathfinder scheme!

Have to turn it down though again as it clashes with Clifford Chance :frown:

Congrats!

You are nailing these applications! Is this a 100% success rate still?

Thanks - haha not quite! Offers from Clifford Chance, A&O, Linklaters, Slaughter and May, Davis Polk, Latham & Watkins, rejected by Weil and HSF after not passing their tests, still waiting on Hogan Lovells and Freshfields :smile:
