    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi, I had a final round interview with Akin Gump for the 2023 TC in the middle of October. I was supposed to hear back by 23rd Oct but havent heard anything yet. I just wanted to check if anyone else has heard back from them after the final round? Any tips on what I should do?
