As in a job offer? Keep in mind your obligations as a law student:

https://lso.ca/Becoming-Licensed/Lawyer-Licensing-Process/Articling-Candidates/Finding-a-Placement/2022-Toronto-Summer-Student-Recruitment-Procedures#d-first-year-students-7

Students who accept an offer shall immediately notify firms from whom they have an outstanding offer or with whom they have scheduled interviews. Students who have already accepted an offer shall not thereafter participate in interviews with other firms or accept offers subsequently received.

Thank you very much! Any idea about the number of students firms are interviewing for each student position?

Not really - I don't track. Safe to assume a similar number as what BQ suggested. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter though.

Just got a call from the Crown Attorney's office (somewhere in Ontario) so calls are going out for that, if anyone applied for government jobs! Also, got another interview at an engineering firm in BC.

Has anyone received instructions from Davies for interview week yet? I'm starting to think I should reach out.

Anyone have some general advice/insight into what Day 2 entails (or even Day 3)? 

All three of the firms I interviewed at were very behavioural i.e., "tell me a time when XYZ" and so I'm wondering what happens on Day 2? Do a new set of people just ask the same type of questions? Or does it now begin to shift to more conversation? 

I guess I'm wondering how to prep and feel a little worried I already told a lot of my good stories/anecdotes to the Day 1 interviewers.

Just to clarify, they'll let students know about their day 2 interviews sometime tomorrow morning?

Apparently 2nd round calls went out from A&B. 

[thefunlawyer]

Davies round 2 notices went out this morning for anyone still waiting. 

Side note: Does anyone have good guidance on when/how to appropriately incorporate first choice language, or if it's necessary at all?

[dcdcdc]

Anyone gotten 2nd call backs from any Calgary firms yet?

[Law_Student_X]

Can anyone give any insight on this?

I understand firms might contact you at the end of the Day 1 interview to invite you back for Day 2. Is this common also at the end of Day 2 interview to invite you back for Day 3? 

If you don't get an automatic invite back at the end of Day 2, is that a bad sign?

Not all firms do Day 3 interviews. You should mention the firm's name.
