    I believe FF’s vac scheme is only for second year students. I am a graduate so I am not eligible

    Training Contract Applications

    It only makes sense to make a seperate thread for members who are applying for straight TC’s this year (I know I am one of them)! So far, I am hoping to apply to CC, Freshfields and A&O. What about everyone else?

    Tricky one, it depends on your relationship with the individual though. If it is the first time you're meeting them, I would wear smart casual.

    Winter Vacation Scheme 2018 Thread

    I know the feeling trust me! In terms of prep, just go through any recent commercial stories you have been following and think about how it affects law firms and clients. Also try and research the law firms sponsoring the competition’s practice areas and try and link the commercial stories...

    Winter Vacation Scheme 2018 Thread

    hm, thanks Jaysen, I think I won’t mention any further detail. I am sure once I declare that I applied last year, they’ll investigate further on their own accord. Also, my app answers are completely different to last year (which they should be) so I guess that in itself shows what else I have...
