TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[thelawstudent2000]

Really enjoyed W&C Open Day and am going to apply for summer vac scheme. It is rolling but does not close until 12th Jan. If anyone got AC/offer for the WVS, how many weeks before closing did you apply?

I mean , don’t copy me but I applied at 23:49 deadline day and I made it to the AC ! But please , this is a one off lol . And summer is probably more competitive

for the work experience section, should you make explicit links to skills and/or certain functions relevant to a career in commercial law? e.g i did this, developing x skill, which is relevant to commercial law…

Hi
I am writing the application question to Arnold and Porter I am a bit confused about the wording of the following question:
Give an example of where you have taken responsibility for others - describe the situation and your contribution.
Does anyone have any advice on how to address it or simply on what it means.
Thanks!

It's asking about teamwork. Also looking at taking ownership. I did their app last month.

My approach is description, then skills. 50 words, 100 words, 100 words.
