    I dunno. They said interview progression will be confirmed by the 25th. They will take place from the 29th to the 2nd of May.

    I have to do a group interview, which I'm worried about. I don't think it means much, the recruitment process looks long. I can imagine so many people are being shortlisted.

    Browne Jacobson PFO post-TI. I have one more firm to wait for which is for a direct TC. I only applied because I spent two weeks interning with them and their client's in-house legal function. Not a great first application cycle but it has been worth it nonetheless.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Just a question for some advice. I'm going to be spending a week with a law firm completing an internship. They have a training contract deadline coming up soon before I start. Do you think it is worth applying the TC? I didn't apply for a Vac Scheme because the type of firm was not on my...

    offered the test on the 28th/29th. Completed it on the 3rd of March. Received the invite today. I don't think it's a sign of anything. I think all applicants get offered this.
