    Tired of Rejection

    Hey, the application process is definitely one that tests you and makes you feel like you aren’t good enough sometimes. So I can definitely sympathise with you regarding feeling low about it all. Rejection is also something that is really gruelling to deal with so just take a couple of days...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey everyone, just sending a friendly reminder that you’ll all get there!!!!! I recently got a TC following a VS. Last year I didn’t even manage to get past the application stages. But with absorbing all of the resources on here and getting support from all of the amazing people on this forum, I...

    Your thoughts required (again!)

    You could also look at partnering with law firms to do some rewards such as “one to one sessions with recruiters”. I know at my university they did awards sponsored by law firms which gave you a good connection to them and something to put onto applications. This obviously depends on TCLA’s...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I hope you’re doing well! I have two questions: 1. I am a bit confused about the SQE route. I have just graduated this year, if I don’t get a TC this year, will I have to do the SQE? 2. Should we update firms about our final year results and classifications? Thanks :)

    Any Ulaw undergrads with a TC?

    I don’t know what stage you’re at but if you’re feeling really really bad about it, I had friends who dropped out and moved to other unis and things like that. It’s quite a difficult move and a brave one, but they are all so glad they did it! Nothing in life is fixed and you’ve always got wiggle...

    Equity Derivatives

    Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and staying safe given the current climate. I was wondering whether anyone had a good knowledge of equity derivatives and could explain it in a simple way. I am keen to learn more about the area of law, the types of clients operate in this field, and...

    Legal tech/AI

    I have found “artificial lawyer” to be a good website, they also do a conference called Legal Innovators. I went and found it really useful, it probably won’t go ahead this year due to the coronavirus but they may replace it with webinars, so keep your eyes peeled. If you’re generally interested...
