TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

[RVD23]

For me it was one of the maths questions. The answer was just not in the multiple choice options I just used the answer closest to the number that I got.

Yeah that's the one I meant haha, maybe that's on purpose? can't imagine why tho

try to keep your head up. I know it's not great news - but some firms are still open for applications this round! though I appreciate if you had your heart set on specific firms / MC that it's not as simple as that.

I feel like many do actually, Shoosmiths, winckworth Sherwood. Doesn’t matter anyway, just apply if you want to. What is there to lose? That’s what I’m doing good luck

 

[SamiyaJ]

Did you receive one

Nope. They said they had a small number of applicants who experienced difficulties receiving the results and will let me know if I can still receive mine but no update…

They said we’d hear back end of February beginning of March.

Does anyone know when Mayer brown sends out their feedback re. the test? I see from previous years they send it but not sure if in batches or depending on when you take the test?

Check Legal Cheek's "most" list. The one's with the most contracts are likely to have most spaces available for DTC I would imagine. A few don't finish until June (big firms too). Definitely not time to be done for this cycle yet (although I am also struggling to muster up the effort for Baker and NRF at the moment).
