Interview
One HR and one associate, quite friendly and nice. Most questions focus on why law, why study in a foreign country, why solicitor but not barrister. Conversational type interview. But careful if you have one specific subject in your transcript that has a relatively lower score. I got a lower score in contract law subject so the associate kept asking me about contract law based questions. But it would be fine if you get yourself familiar with the basic knowledge.

It wasn’t as commercial as expected , and more about my skills, and so it felt like a conversation, which was really good!
It also involved a written task and presentation.
