For Olivia, a law graduate at HSF, the hardest part of the application was probably the duration. The entire process spans a few months and is orchestrated by the Law Society of New South Wales for all participating firms.
It spans a few months, starting around June when you submit your applications. After a few weeks, firms start responding for the first-round interviews. Then, a few more weeks pass until the second-round interviews. Finally, there's another wait of a few weeks for the offers to come in. Olivia stressed that this process is like a long race and advised pacing yourself over these months.
