Is this 2KBW London/Portsmouth or both?


I rang the London number and spoke to someone there so I assume it was only for London. But I can't be certain sorry.

One Essex Court status changed to 'assessment'. Any idea what that means?


I have the same. I suppose it just means that they only 'just' started reviewing?

Gateway has changed for 2HC, from applied to shortlisted.

Anyone else in the same predicament??

If i remember rightly from last year they dealt with them in batches so if you have not heard yet it doesn't mean anything so do not worry.
Anyone who has previously had a first round with No5 Chambers willing to share their experience? Any helpful tips? Thank you!
Does anyone have any experiences of first round interviews at 1 Garden Court or 4 Paper Buildings that they would be willing to share? Any information at all would be gratefully received.
I've never had interviews on the gateway (all been off gateway). I know this is a very general question but when do interviews normally start? I'm assuming by the first week of June? Thanks.

12 KBW first round interviews out via email.
Fenners have now placed an advertisement of Gateway for 2017 - considering we still haven't heard from previous application deadline does this mean we will need to reapply? I'm tempted to irrespective due to the fact iv built upon my cv since original application....

Just received! I must say I did wonder when it originally didn't appear on Gateway!

Have mine in two weeks time. How was it? What does it entail? I've heard 10 mins prep on a range of topical issues and then questioning on one?
Anyone heard from 1 Gray's Inn Square, Garden Court Chambers or Doughty Street?

You pick one from a list during prep time and then you are asked for your view/questioned on it. Otherwise it's around your application form
