    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I've never been asked this before, or even ever prepared for it, but it's about showing your eye for detail and meticulousness. Maybe give an example of when you had to proofread something or count something (like money), and go through the process. For e.g., your ability to focus on a task...

    I personally read through my material when I wake up, then do something totally unrelated, then read through the material again 30-40m before the interview. There is not much you can do to help massively the morning of, so feel free to do whatever calms you down!

    Does anyone have any advice on choosing vac scheme departments? I will of course choose what I find interesting and want to experience, but can anyone give any further recommendations?

    Could anyone who has done an in-person VS please shed light on what the days entail? I've done a virtual scheme, which was largely practice area talks, talks on diversity/tech/legal research etc. Is this likely to still be the case in person, or would we be more involved with work?

    Hii, definitely don't include citations as you don't have enough time. It is a commercial case study, so you won't be needing any pieces of law. Format it as a memo which is comprehensible to a client. Include an executive summary, subheadings if applicable, and simple language. Don't...

    Generally questions which test your commercial knowledge. It can be things like discussing a business story, legal developments, challenges/opportunities for clients/the firm/a particular industry. Then a conversation can be sparked from your response. I doubt you'd be asked about business...

    Guys, I must know, what are the differences in terms of what US and UK firms look for? I've had 4 interviews with US firms and been rejected by all UK firms I've applied to. I know it's not as clear cut as I may think it is, since there are other factors involved, but I would be grateful if...

    If you google search the deal/matter and add 'law firm' you might be able to find the firms involved. Bloomberg Law is really great for that :)
