TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

The world before and after you lot win an argument on an internet forum

OK - this is Jess talking from a personal opinion/perspective rather than in a TCLA formal role here. As a member of the community manager team, I may respond more formally in time.

Before posting, I recommend people think "would I say this out loud in a room full of people I didn't know". Anonymity is great on this forum (not that I would know much about that now, but I did in my TSR days), but one of the negative side effects it does have is it often leads to people having a false bravado. And that bravado can often offend people (whether intentionally or not) and have a tendency to make people double down when challenged. If you really wouldn't interact like this if you were having this conversation at an end of open day drinks reception, just wonder if it is appropriate in this forum.

Yes, we all like a laugh on this forum, especially when people are stressed - it is a really great antidote. But please recognise that not everyone is going to agree with your form of laughter/stress relief. And, yes, we respect people's right to post freely. We also respect people's right to be offended and to challenge people's thinking though. However, be mindful that we have terms and rules that I would encourage everyone to remind themselves of at the same time. The rules can be found here: (1) Terms and rules | The Corporate Law Academy Forum - I would particularly recommend reading section one and asking yourself whether your behaviour could be considered to fall under any of these categories, but especially regarding baiting and trolling.

Sorry to go all mother hen on you all right now, but it's times like this when it is needed.

Well said Jessica! 👏🏻

Hi James,

No they don't, all applications are reviewed after the closing date

I haven't come across a definitive list - however most say in the FAQs or elsewhere on their apply pages if they are rolling or not. Any firms in particular you are wondering about? I'm sure within the wealth of knowledge on this forum someone will know for each one!

Hi, I guess this has been asked before but I couldn't find the info myself. What firms only recruit from TC's or just have a non-conventional approach to TC recruitment?
