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

    Everyone is their own worst critic. You cannot go into an interview with that mindset. You aren't going to be embarrassing yourself by going to an interview for a law magic circle law firm... I view that as an achievement; it's something that most of the population have never been able to do...

    The problem is, the other questions on the application form give plenty of room to discuss extra curricular activities I.e. the formation of my business. the exact question is: ‘Outline the Main Social, Leisure, Sporting Activities including community service and positions of responsibility...

    I posted this question earlier today but it was a Sunday and no one was available to offer me advice so I thought I’d try again today! To cut a long story short. I’m a final year law student and I’m applying to a particular firm which asks me to detail the positions of responsibility, sports...

    Hey guys, I’m looking to apply to K&L Gates but one section of the application asks to describe the ‘Main Social, Leisure, Sporting Activities including community service and positions of responsibility held both in school and university.’ I’m loving the other section of questions but...

    I don’t think that would be the case as they will have reviewed the interviews all at once great. The dates above were the ones that I was sent by grad recruitment for summer scheme which means they must be holding them separately!

    They have 25 training contract places according to legal cheek and chambers mentions the 22 figure for vacation schemes but I have a feeling they might take on more. I’d guess quite a lot of ACs. @Jessica Booker might be able to put some educated guesstimates out there. (1500 initial applicants).

    Reed Smith LLP Video Interview

    I received one with the dates of the AC on Wednesday, and another today saying that my application is still being considered. I don’t actually think that todays email is any indicator of being moved to a ‘maybe’ pile. I think it just genuinely means that it’s still being reviewed. we know that...

    How about everyone else? I think it’s important to mention whether people are getting spring or summer offers as this makes a big difference in my assumption of a PFO from todays holding email! If only spring schemes are being handed out today then us summer VACers have nothing to worry...

    I believe only 1 person has announced to the forum that they’ve received Linklaters summer AC. In fact, I think spring ACs are still taking place right now. I had my hopes up for a reply this week but I’ve come to terms that most firms are only just processing spring ACs so there’s still plenty...

    Correct me if I’m wrong as I’m not speaking from experience; but, remember that graduates of any discipline can gain vacation schemes at most firms. IMO technical legal knowledge will not be something that will be challenged much in a case study but I’m sure others who have actually attended...

    Wow. I had no idea that the pass rate for SQE would be so low; I’d have guessed it would be more like 80%. Out of curiosity, what happens if you’re granted a TC but fail the SQE prior to joining?

    Licensing could be one angle you could take. Many firms advise clients on media licensing. Alongside original content, Netflix uses a lot of licensed content - Maybe there was a film that you saw on there a week ago and wanted to watch but has now disappeared because the license for Netflix to...

    I had the same issue but received email - I’d bet money that you’ll receive the holding email by tomorrow, it’ll probably just be backlogged. I doubt they would only send it to select applicants.
