TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[TCLA Community Assistant]

How long after an TC AC should I wait before asking for an update? The grad rec said a week to a week and a half, and it's been over 2 weeks now. This firm recruits on a rolling basis, so I can't tell whether i just don't meet their calibre and they are waiting to have all their AC's, and make all their offers, before rejecting me. (And I know i'm being impatient but this wait is nerve-racking!)

Give them a call/email on Monday if you haven’t heard anything back by then.

Thanks for the update! I love their revamp - hopefully we hear back today!

Does anyone know how long Greenberg Traurig typically take to get back following an AC?

On the website they say you will find out by June 30th. Taking into account they tend to respond on the last day, I would say near then?

Hey,

Does anyone including @Jessica Booker know if law firms require the same LPC grades for self-funded students as they do for sponsored students? For example, if the firm requires sponsored students to get a commendation for every module on the LPC, does that tend to mean this will be required if you obtain a TC as a self-funded student?

Typically yes. I am sure there are exceptions, but if the policy is there for sponsored trainees, it makes sense to apply it to all trainees.
