Received an A&O TC offer this afternoon!!! Still can't believe it. I seriously couldn't have done it without the support of the TCLA community (or the TCLA mock interview practice!!) 🥰- ELaw2021

I have been given the name of my supervisor for my A&O vac scheme next week - should I reach out to him e.g. to ask if there's anything I can do some research on in prep for next week or best to leave it?- ELaw2021

Does anyone have any advice for what I can do/resources to use to prepare for a vacation scheme? I have a WVS with Allen & Overy so any A&O specific or general advice would be so helpful! :)- ELaw2021

I've read that Simmons & Simmons' AC includes an inbox exercise, case study exercise and competency interview. Am I correct in thinking this suggests there won't be the typical why Simmons, why law, etc. questions?- ELaw2021

I have an AC next Wednesday for Clyde & Co's winter vac scheme but I've just received an offer for A&O's winter vac scheme (which I plan on accepting) which will be over the same dates - should I immediately email Clyde & Co about this to see if I can be considered for their spring or summer vac...- ELaw2021

Do you think I can use setting up a uni society and creating its resources, e.g. events, quizzes, etc., as an example of being innovative? Or is that not really an example of innovation?- ELaw2021

Has anyone received an email from Simmons & Simmons saying that they didn't receive your online test and are withdrawing your application? I completed the test in time and it says completed on the online portal so a bit worrying!- ELaw2021
