    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Thank you! I actually just realised they also ask in the form your motivations for being a solicitor and for applying to the firm. So do you think it would still be necessary to do a cover letter... feels a bit like they've asked everything already.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    This might be a silly question but do I need to let firms i am waiting to hear from that I’m going to be abroad the next two weeks, just in case they call (i hope) because of international call fees? I don’t want them to think i’m presuming an offer but also wouldn’t want them to incur a cost.

    Hey did they say much about timeline for the Summer intake? As I've known people last year not hearing until really late (late-Apr/May), and wondered if that means I won't hear much for a while.
