    Probably the wrong place for this but if anyone could shed any light I’d be so grateful. I missed the deadline submission for my LPC PLR module but emailed the assessment office/turn it in submissions as soon as practical after. I also phoned the assessment office immediately after to...

    just wanted to mention to anyone who has received a TC and is eligible for the LPC - it’s worth asking your firm. My offer letter stated sponsorship for the LLM SQE1&2, but I asked if I could switch to the LPC MSc as I am a 2020 LLB grad and eligible and they said yes! Not sure how every firm...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Does anyone know if it’s common for law firms to recoup 50%(or more or less) of LLM fees if you don’t accept a NQ job/move to a different firm? The NQ job part is a bit scary. If I want to qualify in litigation but I am offered tax and I turn it down - it’s a bit unfair that I get hit with 50%...

    Does anyone else find it hard on a VS to connect/chat with associates and above? I never want to bother them because they seem so busy but don’t want to be marked down for lack of comms with the wider team that I’m placed in!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Can anyone advise on whether having coffee chats during a VS is essential? I don’t want it to come across forced & feel as though I’d only really be able to build a relationship after 2/3 days so it would be towards the end of the scheme anyway… I find that natural talking opps tend to...
