    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I know how you feel it's extremely frustrating. I keep wondering what am I doing wrong? Am I not fit to be a lawyer? Especially when you work really hard on an application and don't even make it past the first stage...

    I'm applying to Baker McKenzie right now- I feel like I don't have a magnitude of experience in terms of attending their open days, insight events etc.. I've never been accepted to do a vacation scheme in another firm, does anyone have any advice for how to approach adding additional work...
