    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    No news is always good news with law firms so I would wait until you receive a rejection to know whether you received it or not.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Questions should not be reveal on the forum, you can only discuss topics that came up though, and I do believe those are more than enough to clearly identify the questions!

    I would put it in the additional information section which every application should have or, otherwise, I would email graduate recruitment

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I was in the same situation and so I basically explained the grading system and consequently mentioned my grades. When I was applying last year, I received the advice of give a brief explanation of the system, the grading scheme and your grades, and they will do the further checks necessary...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    In my application last year I mentioned some (not all) the firms I applied to and got through further stages of the application such as assessment centres invite, interview invites etc. I do not think it is a strategic intent behind it, however, I would say that if you are generally applying to...

    I think that the number of reasons you give for why a specific firm should make sense to you and what you want to highlight. If you think that these two points, explored in further detail (which show your research), combined with your own experiences and background, can result in a better answer...

    Situational Judgement Test

    I totally understand the frustration and I feel like when I was applying last year in my first (and last) application cycle as a non-law masters student I was very disheartened by them. However, I got a couple of pieces of advice when I was trying to understand how to tackle them in the most...

    I feel like it is really hard to tell as we do not have specifics as to what was actually discussed and the partner's responses to your questions, his tone and body language, but I would say that if an interview is a discussion-based interview, it will be communicated. This means that I would...

    I want to apply to firms in London but i want to continue to live up North.

    I think that they might let you do the LPC/SQE up north if the firm you end up at are not too strict (although many firms prefer their cohort to do the course all together in the same location, that is what my firm for instance decided to do). However, for what concerns working for the London...

    Hey @flower, I understand the difficulty as this was one of my concerns when I was applying. However, what I found out is that saying a bunch of different facts about the firm is not necessarily knowing a lot about the firm. Talking to some graduate recruitment made me realise how video...

    I totally see the confusion but what I would say is just choose a couple of reasons why you want to join the firm and link those to you and your experiences. With such a tight word count, trying to mention a millionth thing will not work and will not come off as genuine in my experience. In my...

    I would say that if the news is very significant for many practice areas that the firm does have, then I would say that it would make sense to talk about it. Generally speaking, you should choose what you are interested in or knowledgeable of, especially because your answer can be object of...

    Hey @Dwight, I have not addressed the cover letter to anyone, I immediately typed my answer. With the limited word count, I think they prefer people going straight to the point, so no need for introductory sentence or sign-off sentences, do not worry!
