TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

[jfb]

Has anyone got any good tips or know of any techniques to get better at Cappfinnity assessments, I always do terrible and feel like the reflections I get on my strengths/weaknesses aren't accurate at all. I have another SJT coming up and would appreciate any advice or websites to look at.

I’m not sure which document you are referring to specifically, but I came across this one from a TCLA thread a while ago: 😀

Firms that do not require the WG

Hello everyone! I was wondering if some of you knew of firms that do not require the Waston Glaser test - I had a trainee mention this but didn't give me an example of firms. Thank you!

Thank you so much!

How does one go about deleting their TCLA account?

Has anyone heard back from Perkins Coie direct LBA application?

I'm applying for a paralegal role and the application asks for a salary expectation.

I've got an LLM in the relevant area of law (undergrad is BSc) and it'd be my first full-time job (no prior legal experience but its not necessary for the role). It's a national commercial firm, one of the top for the relevant practice area, and its in one of their southern regional offices.

What should my salary expectation be? I have no idea what is reasonable

This will be my final time asking but did anyone ever hear anything from Penningtons/PMC DTC? I assume I have been rejected as it is now the end of June but equally haven't seen anything posted on this forum nor have I heard from the firm.

I received an email on 23/05 saying they expect to provide an update on outcomes by the end of July!

So don't stress yet, apparently they usually take a while.

Just did the GLD VI. Does anyone know if there’s a baseline pass mark for each question or whether it’s an overall grade for all questions? I messed up one question big time but the others went quite well I thought 😟

Feeling disregarded and left behind. I'm just going to enrol on an SQE course and hope for the best at this point.

Does anyone know what time the paul hastings deadline is tomorrow?

Does anyone know what time the paul hastings deadline is tomorrow?

it does say "all applications will be reviewed after this date", so I would suggest it's almost certainly 23:59

Can anyone that has previous experience with Dorsey or specific knowledge of the firm DM me please? I’d really appreciate it and can offer advice about SH and Hogan Lovells (reached AC before with both). It’s literally impossible to research the firm due to its size in London and very limited info online (trying to make the most of their website)

Sorry I dont have any previous experience with the firm but just wondering if you received a first-stage interview invite?

Haven't done mine yet but I'm sure you did better than you think!
We usually get stuck on our mistakes and don't give enough credit to the parts we did well
I would assume they'd take in your answers in a holistic approach, such as your overall performance - even if you think you've messed up maybe they'll consider how you did in the next one as a "how did they bounce back"

Hello all, does anyone know if the prep time for the Government Legal Trainee VI is limited?

Hi there,

I’m unsure about this, but I do know that generally, prep time is limited. I have only ever heard of one firm, SH, that has unlimited prep time. However, in any case, feel free to email the recruitment team to confirm this.
