TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

When asked 'what make law firm x stand out to you/ other firms you apply', would I just simply state what makes it stand out or would I need to link it to my own experiences and why this is important to me?

You will need to explain why the factors you have identified are important to you. That can be linking it back to previous experiences but it can also be about talking about what is important to you in your future career (so more forward looking than a backward looking reflection of what you have done in the past).

Thank you!

I've applied to Mayer Brown, and read here that it takes some time to receive the tests- is it one or two? Do any have a VI section? Any tips/insights would be super appreciated!

No VI sections are within the test and I think they send them in a big batch. I few of us got our tests 29/10. But if you applied after that you’ll get them in the next batch of tests they send.
