TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
Hi @Dib312 - very good question! 😊 I think that the most important thing when talking about open days/events you've attended is to not be very descriptive.

Hi @anushag - congratulations on the campus ambassador role! I would say that you don't need to provide a lot of detail on this as you're yet to start the role. The firm will be aware of what campus ambassadors do, so there is definitely no need to summarise what you'll be doing! I guess you...- Maria d'Orey

Ask 3 TCLA Application Reviewers Anything!
Hi @Crystal86 , great question! I was actually doing my conversion degree during the application process, so when it came to the assessment centre I had a little bit of a background in law. I'm not sure if Ashurst's vacation scheme assessment centre is one of a kind, but our only exercise was...- Maria d'Orey
