TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
In my view, work is important but feeling supported to express yourself honestly and put yourself out there at your workplace is just as important as well so the balance needs to be there at whatever firm you choose to train at. The ranking of a practice area may change in the future, and unless...- AvniD

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
1) For this, you will need to introspect a bit on who you are and what encourages you to be a lawyer, pursue your interests etc. This could be things like your curiosity, enthusiasm, resilience etc. The way I'd structure it would be to state what motivates you ➡️ pick an example where you...- AvniD

In what way would the training be better at the other firm? And how vastly different is your career progression between the two firms? And also, what/do you attach any significance to culture over training quality or vice versa?- AvniD

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
I'd suggest reaching out only when the timeframe they mentioned they'd get back to you in has elapsed i.e. once a couple weeks have passed. Them asking about current offers may just be to know if they need to speed up processing the outcome of your application, although I am not sure about this...- AvniD

I would email grad rec to confirm this. In case you don't receive a reply in time, I would assume it would be an audio call only but would also be prepared in case the video component is included. Plain background, dressed appropriately- all of that.- AvniD

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
With shadowing, I have found that what you get out of it is entirely dependent on what you put into it. One of my most valuable experiences was when I shadowed barristers for a few days during a mini-pupillage. I would observe their interactions, method of advocacy, tasks they undertook and...- AvniD

Dentons Paralegal
I would think a bit deeper about the stuff you mentioned last week- the challenges, the process, where you could've done better, where you did really well etc. As for your motivations for working in law/at the firm, I would think about whether you missed any detail that would help contextualise...- AvniD

Is there anything in particular you asked for in the note (a question about their work, a request to talk etc.)? If you simply sent the note to explain why you were wishing to connect with them, they may not have felt the need to reply and there isn't a need to follow-up.- AvniD

Grades on CV
If you've already finished university, you could just write the overall grade you graduated with. If you don't want to mention individual grades on your CV, you could take them out of there, but do bear in mind that at some point in the TC process a firm will want to see your transcripts so you...- AvniD

I'd limit it to one page rather than a number of words tbh. This way, you'll have a more detailed cover letter in case 500 words is too limiting or a more concise one in case 500 words runs into two pages.- AvniD

Opinions on 'Assistant Paralegal' Roles
A new role means more opportunities for employment and gaining experience, which can be really good. I believe titles like junior and senior paralegal already exist in this space so assistant paralegal may just be another hierarchical addition as well. I don't believe it is clear how/if...- AvniD
