Realise this is WILDLY outside tc applications (sorry guys for mucking up the new thread) but does anyone have the Smith, Hogan and Ormerod criminal law book 14th ed, who would also be willing to photo like 3 pages for me and pm me please?
I’ve lost my copy (literally don’t ask, it involved 3 dogs and a canal) and really don’t want to buy another one for 40 quid but I need a quote. Would be so grateful! Thanks!

I have access to the 15th edition on law trove if that helps any?

This will depend on if the firm allows you to reapply in the same cycle for a TC. Most firms don’t so I think you should email GR to clarify!

I think it means that most if not all firms are done recruiting for their 2021 vacation schemes. While the VS thread is often the thread people use to discuss anything and everything including non VS related topics, it can be misleading to continue using it long past the 2021 VS cycle is over (especially if the thread is explicitly called 2020-2021 Vacation Scheme Discussion) The pages point is probably less related - last year’s thread was closed at 300+ pages. We just have more pages this year because of all the gifs and memes.
Also, I think it does make sense to split the threads according to cycles because it can be very overwhelming for new users to see a thread with over 1000+ pages.

It’s a general discussion thread. Posts like the are welcome!
Invite to Lewis Silkin's pre-selection process (includes a VI, written case study and McQuaig test)
Has anyone done a McQuaig test before?

Is this through your uni? I don’t think mine has a student log in
thanks for the heads up though!
Oh I meant that I can probably get you the bits you need as a screen cap. Dm me.Is this through your uni? I don’t think mine has a student log in

Yes! The McQuaig test is very straight forward. What I recommend is that you write down all the months of the year in order, and all of the letters of the alphabet and number them. It might also be worth writing down a list of the most common number patterns and how they appear.
Thank you so much, this is really helpful
I have never done a test like this before, I am a bit nervous !!Fair enough! I figured that I am still waiting to hear back from at least 5 vac scheme apps and also that people have used the thread a lot to discuss how to excel on a vac scheme, which is still relevant until summer...but I guess it was getting a bit unwieldy hahaI think it means that most if not all firms are done recruiting for their 2021 vacation schemes.

Yep just makes things a little tidier and the navigation a little clearer, particularly for newer members! I think this'll be easier to see in the future as we'll have a button that links back to all the previous locked threads of the same topic.
Nah my final TC interview literally runs into the hour my thesis is due.
Yikes. But I feel ya. I finish my vacation scheme and my core LPC exams (the most important ones) begin just four days later. It's going to be a loooong summer.
I have just signed the contract for my TC offer !! It feels so surreal and I never thought I would be in a position where I have to decline VS offers and withdraw from upcoming ACs, but I am glad that I cleared up some space for other candidates
Thank you TCLA it has been a great network
