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

    Wondering about CMS's question: "What qualities does a future facing, well-rounded lawyer require to be successful?" Would you try and weave into the answer how you have the qualities which you mention? The word limit is really tight at only 200 words.

    Just wondering if anyone has heard back from S&M for the 2024 non-law intake?

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

    I've been reusing paragraphs that describe my work experience for the last few apps. I took some time to adjust them today and now I feel a bit annoyed with myself because they're so much better written than what I had used in the last few apps I've sent. That's my punishment for laziness, I guess.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Slightly dumb question, but for Webinars etc. are we expected to have our cameras on? Wondering whether I should don the suit and tie or if I can get away with wearing pajamas whilst my camera is off.

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

    I'm curious if anyone knows of any success stories of people who applied for a TC one cycle, got rejected, then applied for a VS the following cycle and were successful? I'd love to hear them.

    Take what I say with a grain of salt as I know no more than you do, but I wouldn't get rid of the address. I'd suggest to you that if you're struggling for space then you're writing too much for a cover letter.

    Great! Thanks for helping me clarify that. I did think it would be a bit strange to specifically exclude English and Welsh graduates. 😅

    CMS Opportunities 2021/22

    Hey! Thanks for this, very informative. I just wanted to clarify something, but on the CMS Academy information page, it states on the right that: "Undergraduate or postgraduate students studying either law or a non-law subject, as well as all graduates and candidates in a non-law career"...

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

    Thanks for sharing your experience! After a little reading, it seems S&M WW might be even more competitive than the TC, so not sure which path to take in that regard. I am coming around to the idea of applying to vacation schemes rather than training contracts this cycle. I'm not sure where I...

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

    First of all, congratulations to everyone who got an offer! With some firms opening their TC applications for 2024 this month, I've starting writing my applications. This will be my second cycle, after only getting one interview invitation last time. Obviously, I could be completely off base...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Congrats to all who received an AC from BM! I myself got to the VI stage. Obviously disappointed I couldn't get an AC, but not surprised as I knew it didn't go too well. This is my first cycle of applications, and I knew going into it that there would be some setbacks. Definitely some good...
