    Clifford Chance single essay question

    I agree with @Jessica Booker on this one, the STAR method is generally useful but necessarily with this question. I would follow what Jessica suggested, I think it is the best way to successfully answer the question.

    Yes, totally! I would try to substantiate this linking it back to you, your interests, your background and your professional experiences that made you like this practice area. This is necessary to distinguish yourself from other candidates who have probably highlighted the same practice area...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Unfortunately it is pretty common. Many people I know were final year law students and managed to secure training contracts in their last years. Many others had to do master's degrees before getting their training contract offer, but in the end, if that is your goal, you will succeed in it. Do...

    I think it depends but a month more or less from when you applied I would say.

    Yes, I think it makes perfect sense and it is also such an interesting story, I am sure whoever reads your application will want to know more. I think that you should be focusing on highlighting what specifically pushed you to do law over computing. This story is definitely personal to you and...

    Hey @LegallyBrown, That has been my experience too in in my interviewers and I always successful. My interviews mainly focused on me and my background and the language ability I have, I have never been asked why the firm. I have never thought too much about it but I am guessing that the...

    I would say that diversifying the experiences mentioned works in your favour as the answers do not seem redundant. I was very inclined to only use legal related experiences when I was apply, though they were not much, however I got the advice that law firms like to see someone with different...

    Pursuing Law with a non-law degree and likelihood of success

    I have replied to you in the main thread but i just want to stress how it is genuinely possible to succeed at getting a training contract as a non-law student as I did! And I also was an international student with a non-law degree from outside the UK! So iI hope this gives you motivation! Good...

    I am sorry for this situation. I personally would advise to send a last reminder email but I would not call. This is because you do not want to disturb too much graduate recruitment, you never know how that might be counterintuitive for you later on. After the last email you send, if they do...

    I think that you will have no issues in the application process so go ahead and definitely apply! I was a non-law student myself and succeeded in my first application cycle so it is definitely possible! In terms of law firms, basically 98% of law firms recruit both law students and non-law...
