    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I think this is a valid request and I am sure they will gladly accomodate you, I would not worry about it! Law firms are really understanding when it comes to things like this and they do comprehend that people face different issues and they should be accommodated to perform to the best of...

    Yes! iI actually emailed for an earlier update the same day and they called me two hours later but I am assuming now that I just emailed on the right day anyway so I was lucky!

    Are all SQE courses (sponsored as part of TC) broadly the same ?

    I totally agree with what @Jessica Booker and @prospectiveswitcher have said already. Although the courses can feel different to a certain degree, the SQE 1 and SQE2 is the same exam for everyone and that is what counts. I personally will not make it a serious decision-factor to decide between...

    Last year I heard the first day of March so I am assuming that around that time you will hear back too!

    They might ask you questions regarding your application answers and anything commercial you have mentioned there so definitely keep up with trends and events you have talked about. They might ask what kind of practice area you would create at the firm following the new trends in the business...

    I think it would be more appropriate to ask when you have the training contract. Asking now might appear a bit pretentious.

    I think you can ask them, they might say no but I do not think it will hinder your chances in any way, it is a normal request and I am sure you are not the first person to ask this anyway.

    I was asked this question in all my interviews last year and I interviewed with US firms. What I can say from my perspective is that it really is difficult to mention the firms, I totally understand your point of you. I personally could not mention every firm I applied to since I applied to...

    I personally do not know what you are referring to, I am assuming ''the difficult questions you cannot prepare for'' and I would just choose an answer that best suit the situation and makes sense for obtaining the best result in the situation.

    Unfortunately we cannot look at individual responses but I think that you should focus on explaining your 2/3 reasons why you are attracted to the firm and the specific office and relate them back to you. These are the crucial things that cannot be missing in your answer.

    I personally do not think there is a limit but I would not include every single experience I did but only the most relevant ones and the ones I know I can talk about more extensively. Putting so many experiences will not be as beneficial in my opinion. I used to out a maximum of 6 to 7...

    I would mention them in the Why the firm question as I think it fits better. I would agree with Jessica and say that generally webinars are not to be put in the work experience section but should be used as a supporting argument as to why you find a specific firm/practice area or client very...

    This is firm dependent but usually I would say no as law firms will offer the training contract to people they really like and if you have been offered a vacation scheme offer, you are more than capable to convert it regardless of the dates you choose. Having said that, there are certain firms...
