    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I dont think you have to. If they need it, they will ask. WBD is a very efficient firm and have good practice in communicating with candidates. Dont stress for now..complete what you can and they will contact you. If you are worried, contact GR, they are so helpful and will respond!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Some people cant take time off work to attend a 1 or 2 week VS and firms are aware of this hence why they have a direct TC route. VS are a great way to gain an internal perspective into the day-to-day life of a solicitor so if you can spare the time, its definitely recommended. The plus side is...

    I think this is a 'six of one, half dozen of another' situation. Personally, I would use the content of your previous answer but make a conscious effort to adapt it to yourself now. You may be surprised at how many tweaks you can make after a year! It also pays to search these types of questions...

    No set way to prepare. There are about 12 'games' which you can read about online and watch gifs of. Online may suggest to research the firm's values and focus on those when playing the games.
