US firm bosses in spat over billing

Justin Timberlake said it best Further to my post at 14:29 on 19/03, it could also be argued that many students in their final year who have not submitted applications by now are perhaps those who are/were sitting on the fence when deciding whether or not to pursue law as a career. Whilst this isn't in itself bad - indeed, some people take longer to decide their career path than others - I don't think the current climate caters for such indecisiveness. This time-frame favours those applicants who spend the summer before their final year researching firms and working out what sort of law they wished to pursue. Whilst final year students have always been able to apply up until the late July deadlines, I never understood how any fully committed, bright applicant would leave it so late.
