    Gap between LPC and TC

    I have the exact same gap as you - finish LPC start of June and TC starts in August 2023. I plan to travel during those two months, and do stuff that I normally wouldn't have the time to do - such as hiking, going out in the nature more etc. I heard a lot of opinions that we shouldn't be too...

    GCSE

    Hi! I'm also from Romania so you can message me directly. But when I applied I put everywhere my grades from 'Evaluare Nationala' from 8th grade for GSCEs. A levels are the Romanian Baccalaureate.

    How important is it to do the LPC with your starting cohort?

    Hi! I am currently doing my LPC outside of London, and most of the other future trainees from my firm are doing it together in Holborn. Despite this, I don't feel excluded or anything - we have a group chat where we communicate from time to time, and we will meet when we go to firm events, so I...

    Would say that I had a similar situation - I initially applied to a regional office, then my circumstances changed a lot (I had mentioned in my interview that part of the reason I had chosen my location was that I was going to have family there but the Ukraine war changed everything since I am...

    Responding to TC offer

    To the best of my knowledge, you can renege an offer. Usually the problem is if they have made any payments towards LPC/GDL/SQE etc in which case you will probably have to repay them. Hope this helps!

    Hi! The phone interviews are not super difficult from what I remember - make sure you can answer questions related to your motivation to join the firm, commercial law and have a commercial news story prepared. it's competency based, and I remember really enjoying mine. good luck!

    omg SAME! I was literally reading those today and I was so surprised how mean people can be - I guess people don't really follow the 'live and let live' idea. It was quite sad how triggered some people were by a question that's not even a real issue..

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

    I would not worry about the silence too much. They just ran their Spring scheme and they are super super busy. I am a future trainee and I'm expecting some documents and I've been waiting too, so I wouldn't take it as a bad sign or anything!

    Hey, I'm really really sorry you're feeling like this! I know this may not help a lot, but remember that you're always going to be your harshest critic. The people from the firm are going to know you are non-law, and skills like reading a case and knowing how to find the right info don't come...
