    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Is it recommended to give similar answers on your application form at the interview? For example, can you answer "why do you want to train at this firm" with the same points on your application form?

    Due Dilligence Diaries (My TC Journey)

    So small update: I did the Reed Smith SJT + VI. I was super glad I got invited, but I'm not too sure the SJT part went very well. I struggled with the maths a bit so I got an average score, and on the pillars, I was 6,6,4,4. I really put in the effort to try to learn how to do SJTs well so I'm...

    Due Dilligence Diaries (My TC Journey)

    Hey everyone, After years of lurking on TCLA, I’ve finally decided to step out of the shadows and start sharing my training contract journey.✨ So many of you have kept me going through the rejections, the rewrites, and the late-night Legal 500 rabbit holes — so now I’m hoping to do the same...

    What Am I Doing Wrong?

    Thank you so much for your encouragement @Ram Sabaratnam @ZNadeem. I actually made 3 applications since writing this post, and one of them progressed to the next stage (still waiting on the others), so naturally, I got my fighting spirit back. I still want this very badly, and I am going to do...

    What Am I Doing Wrong?

    Hello everyone, I'm just looking for advice on what to do differently or if its time to call it quits. I am a first-class law 2023 graduate from an RG Uni. I've had 3 cycles now. In my first cycle, I managed to get a vacation scheme but didn't convert. In my second and third cycles, I got up...
