TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
The reason for this, especially if the case settled or was private, is because they probably asked the company how much detail they were allowed to use about them for their credentials/marketing and the company didn't want their name released. It may actually be impossible to find out who they...- Kablahc

I went to loads of insight days in my third year of my law degree before getting my TC.i think they can be really instrumental in demonstrating your interest in a certain area of law or a certain firm. Not all firms offer insight days for non first years but I would say apply to any, and as...- Kablahc

The Lawyer/Law360 if you have a subscription - these are also lots of other free sites you might be able to find on Google that would cover this stuff. Also never discount the usefulness of law firm websites and law firm self published resources e.g. A&O publishing a news article on a deal one...- Kablahc

Personally, if you have any indication on the subject matter, I would try and find reports of deals on the FT or similar legal/financial news outlets and see if it talks about the challenges faced by the deal and try to put things in a commercial context, since imho a case study is probably...- Kablahc

Bit of a long shot posting this here but for some reason the future trainees forum isn't working for me - is anyone here planning to do LPC in September 2022 at BPP Bristol / has been to BPP Bristol? If so, how is it? Would London Holborn be a better choice or does it not matter at all?- Kablahc

Definitely not wasting your time! Some firms do have an approach where they prefer 50/50 or take at least 30% but I agree it's so demoralising to see they offer a direct TC then to suddenly take that option away from candidates by filling everything from the VS. they Wont have all been filled up...- Kablahc

1st: this is completely fine and when I was offered my TC (hadn't graduated yet) my 2nd year average was lower than that- it's definitely not going to cause you to lose out! And 2nd - many, many firms are very aware of the pandemics effect on students. Some unfortunately have continued being...- Kablahc

In my AC where they said we had to have the camera on at all times in the instructions they let us turn it off for the written exercise so I'd say just follow what they say or ask on the day if you need clarification! It might depend on the person conducting it as well.- Kablahc
