Hi! Does anyone have tips for virtual AC (one with written exercise and case study)? i did attend the TCLA webinar recently but open to find some more useful tips/advice?

Which firm is this for?

Anyone heard from BCLP re their direct TCs yet?

No but I spoke to grad recruitment today at a virtual law fair and they are currently screening. AC's are end of July and Aug so I am guessing we will hear back quite soon

For second years applying to W&C,

I haven't got my entire results yet, but I only put the sole module result in the Undergrad results section. I explained how I'm not due to get my results till later July, in the
"Please use this space for additional information about your
undergraduate degree.". Normally I would've wrote , for e.g, EU Law: N/A in the results box, though when previewing the app, it shows the dot as red. Anyone else who did something similar?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here has applied for a London TC at RPC this cycle and if you've heard anything since submitting your application. Granted its quite soon after the deadline but would be good to know if anyone's heard back/when people typically do.

hey i think theyre non-rolling so they are only gonna start reviewing the apps after the deadline. the past two weeks theyve been conducting their virtual vacation schemes so i reckon theyll make some TC decisions for the VS first and then get to the direct TC

Thanks! Yeah that’s what I was thinking - I figured they’d offer their VS candidates TCs then start to look at direct TC apps, so useful to know their VS was this week! Thanks

Hi I also applied for TC at Eversheds. They said on their Twitter account that their Manchester/London VS finished today.

They also said that they’ll try to get back to TC applicants within two weeks of the deadline so we’ll hopefully hear soon!
