    Hey guys,

    Always incredible to see how supportive you are of each other.

    Just a reminder that TCLA will be down tomorrow. Initially I posted that this would be at 3pm, but it looks like this may now be from 1pm. We expect this to be down for the remainder of the day.

    I appreciate this is peak time to be hearing back from law firms, so I very much apologise for the inconvenience this will cause you guys. On the bright side, this might be a nice reason to take a step away from law firm updates (at least for the day).

    The reason we're going down is because the TCLA forum will be going through an upgrade to the latest forum version. As a result of the upgrade, you'll notice that there are a fair few changes to the forum - I hope much of it you will like, but I'm sure that there may be some changes that you don't like. There are also several things I can only do once the forum has upgraded, so you may notice a couple of temporarily 'unfinished' sections.

    I'll start up a thread in the new forum where you can let me know if there's anything you aren't happy with/would like reverted. We'll be working hard on this over the rest of the week or two to make sure we listen to you guys and take on your feedback.

    Finally, if you're a premium member, you can still submit your applications to us for review. Instead of going through the website, you can do this directly via [email protected] and we'll get back to you as normal.

    Thanks and have a good evening!

    Jaysen

    Hey - I've just completed it! But waiting to see what Jessica thinks about who to address it to before sending. I found it okay but the word limit is quite short for the cover letter, what about you?
    Hey, in all honesty I am just starting the cover letter (any hints or tips will be hugely appreciated). The reason is I finished and submitted my Shearman application last night. I thought that Mayer Brown's application does not look too bad given that it is a cover letter format.

    For Mayer Brown's cover letter it says to address it to 'Mark Dubes', should I start my letter with 'Dear Mark Dubes' or 'Dear Mr Dubes'? @Jessica Booker would be interested to know your thoughts on this :)

    I would go with Dear Mark or Dear Mr Dubes.
