TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Out of interest, how much preparation do you all do if you have an AC coming up?

 

[lawstudent2003]

Pick a couple of people who really suit your interests or curiosity, or who aligns with your own values.

Try to not pick obvious names whether they be very prominent “celebrities” or people who are very closely linked to law - you are not going to stand out from the crowd if you say Baroness Hale or Barack Obama.

Try to find something a little more unique you can do the “convince us” part of this question.

I would also try to make clear how you are defining why they would be the best dinner guests. Different people will have different views on what makes a good dinner guest, and so by making this clear you are likely to be more persuasive.

Thank you so much Jessica!

Such random timing!

Such random timing!

Honestly! People have been getting them during the week and I’ve got it at 10 mins to 11 on a Sunday 🤣 I really hope it’s automated and not some poor soul working on a Sunday

Has anyone applied to Mischon, gotten the holding email and gotten rejected?

(This question would be applicable for Spring applicants not Summer)

Does anyone have an AC checklist of sorts? I want to make sure I don’t miss preparing anything with the 1 week only I have to prep. Thanks!

Has anyone heard from Greenberg?

I have an interview in March for direct TC.

 

[whambamshamalam]

Anybody heard anything from Simmons and Simmons or Clyde & Co? (For the Dubai TC) I haven't heard anything since the online assessment and am getting a sinking feeling that Assessment Centres may have already been held. Would appreciate if somebody would put me out of my misery haha
