I understand that WP and Dentons are willing to looking beyond former interns and FCHs. To get their internship you must have so quality in your resume in Y2 that at least attracted the HR team.

P.s not sure if people here are in the industry. Rodyk & Davidson is now known as Denton Rodyk. They prefer to be called Dentons o.O
Poster above...have to agree that law firms are looking out for more than grades. Most firms look out for mooters, prize winners, and interesting CCAs/sports/non-academic interests - particularly mooting at the international level. I know this because I have a good number of mooting friends who got hired during moots (i.e. by their coaches or judges) or because of their moots (i.e. get invited to firm "lunches" etc after winning moots).

Pro bono doesnt seem to really factor in except at particular firms. I have zero pro bono hours on my CV.
