    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I was asked 7 set questions - they don't deviate from their question list. They are also fairly strict with the 30 minute time so try not to talk too much so to speak.

    It was mentioned recently in the forum but I believe firms accept you’ll want to go graduation and let you have the day off, unless you have things planned etc. It’s always best to check with your firm

    I had an interview earlier last year for a paralegal position at Ashfords. From my experience, I would say they are more getting to know you. They are a smaller firm and so the type of person is important to them and how they might fit in their team. Especially, if they already ask commercial...

    Some firms may have their own system or intranet where documents are. I was able to use Microsoft word alongside to take notes etc if needed

    I don’t think you should look at it from that perspective personally as it may lead into a false sense that hours you have committed leads to varying rates of success. Personally, for some of my ACs, as I often had to work as well, I would try do 2-3 hours in the evening in the run up (maybe...
