    I personally feel like it makes sense to only describe your tasks and responsibilities in the work experience section on law firm applications.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    In my experience, I talked about a commercial issue and link it back to the legal sector and to Goodwin because the issue was very relevant to Goodwin's practice areas. I think that, to some level, a connection could be good, but it is not necessary, especially if the issue you are talking about...

    I think that this structure works well especially for firms like Travers Smith as you are able to highlight your motivations, your skills and your research on the firm. Make sure to be very specific to the firm and link all the skills you mentioned and that you have developed through your...

    Hey @Cynthia14, I would highlight 2/3 open days you have attended (depending on the word count that you have) and depict what you have done during those events, describe how meeting lawyers inspired you to keep pursuing this path and emphasise any practice areas workshop you have done which...
