TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
When answering "why x firm" in an AC interview Is there any point in me saying the practice area as they will follow up asking me what practice area am I interested in anyway? Instead should I briefly speak about the awards won within the sector of the practice area i like and the firm...- Legalstalker

Good luck for your interview! I have just narrowed mines down to 3/4. firstly, one of their key practice areas being of interest to me and how my experience links back to this with brief mention of a case and why it’s important to me.

I got my first AC invite 2 weeks ago but I was on holiday abroad for 10 days so prep was limited. Came back a few days ago and have been non stop. I think if I too much time I’ll do too much and not ficus on key things. I think a week and a half could be enough if it’s your only one and you...- Legalstalker
