I can talk for days on this but yeah it’s definitely multi factorial. Also culture plays a big part, imposter syndrome plays a huge part. My experiences of vac schemes I have felt so out of place and I think that definitely had a consequence in me not getting a TC because I didn’t feel confident...- Adanna

Yeah I agree with this, and I think this can only come from representation of these minority groups, because frankly for the majority of people, if it does not affect you, you often will not work hard to change it. So I think the important question is what is causing the lack of representation...- Adanna

You’re not harsh, it is a hard and very often an uncomfortable situation where you can’t see yourself in a place where you will spend a significant amount of time. I’m sure you know this but also I want to be frank that this is going to be the case for some time in the legal profession though...- Adanna

Hey guys, I wanted to gauge my chances post a written exercise for Willkie. After sending it in, I realised that I had made one spelling mistake and written “the” twice. Had an hour to read and write and I’m hoping the people reading will be speed reading but it’s been keeping me awake.- Adanna

Willkie and Orrick vac scheme app
No problem! And tcla have quite a few here, I think. Other than that I googled it. The email said it will be a mixture of motivation and commercial awareness questions so I’d say deffo practice your why law, why Willkie answers and brush up on the news. They won’t ask you competency questions as...- Adanna
