    Just putting it here so I don't forget!! I will come back with a fuller update on how the interview went and my own two cents on how to strategise TC applications (I changed my approach so much compared to last year and it really seemed to work out!).

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Hi everyone, hope 2025 has been good so far! I have a few questions about GDL start date. If the start date is in September but I for personal reason can only come back to the UK in October, is it acceptable that I only start going to class in October? To put it more bluntly, will the course...

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Hello friends I'm back again with my weekly spill: Mini pupillage has been going really well. I ended my first court shadowing early today because we didn't end up going to trial - the other side settled. But still got to witness some top notch negotiation between my mentor and the opposing...

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Ahhhh my gut feelings turned out to be right again. Rejected from Dechert post-AC but received Travers AC for direct TC after the first-round interview! I'm counting my blessings and staying hopeful :)
