Don’t catastrophise it - it’s one mistake. Use it to your advantage - channel the disappointment into energy to show how good you really are and use it as a point of reflection in the final interview (if applicable).- LawfulRust00

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Generally speaking, is it beneficial to go into your vac scheme department with a solid understanding of an area or is this not necessary to do well? For example, I don’t know much at all about tax law but if I were to choose this department in a VS, would my lack of knowledge put me at any...- LawfulRust00

Hi, does anyone have any tips for Ashurst’s online assessments? It would be greatly appreciated. The tests are as follows: 1) Cognify – will require you to complete a series of online games measuring your problem solving and analytical skills. 2) Values Fit – helps us to identify candidates...- LawfulRust00

@Jessica Booker is much better placed to answer this than me but my understanding is that most firms will score candidates and rank them. Often candidates are accepted/rejected on very fine margins.- LawfulRust00

I get confused by the interaction between practice areas and sector specialisms and wouldn’t mind some clarification on how the two correspond in a firm in practice. Example: A client with a data protection matter at a hotel asks for advice from a law firm. This law firm has a hotel and...- LawfulRust00

On paper, Fladgate and Teacher Stern appear to be quite similar. Which firm do people favour overall?
