Documenting my TC Journey (Project TC🚀)

Becoming Jessica Pearson (An International Student's TC Journey)

Which Law Firm is right for me?
The best way to find firms that you're interested in is to go to Legal 500 and check the rankings as they are divided by practice area and location. This will help you get an idea of the firms that do high quality work and/or have large teams and such areas.- Jessica Pearson

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
@Andrei Radu @Abbie Whitlock and anyone else, please, how do I approach answering this question: Describe a recent commercial news story that interested you and explain how it relates to Trowers & Hamlins (max 250 words). Does it have to be a deal the firm has worked on/been involved in? Also...- Jessica Pearson

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
Hiya, I think it depends on how you go about it. For example, when I wrote my RS app, I talked about my interest in their disputes team. But I also included that I am particularly drawn to this practice area because it allows me access to various sectors. I also found it's best to show your...- Jessica Pearson

Becoming Jessica Pearson (An International Student's TC Journey)
UPDATE The PFOs have been coming back to back this season 😭 . This Pinsents one hurt even though I expected it a bit. I believe I have become some much better at video interviews this year but idk how I flopped the verbal reasoning test. I can't even cry because I got it as soon as I started...- Jessica Pearson

Becoming Jessica Pearson (An International Student's TC Journey)
UPDATE Rejected from CMS. I can't even guess why I was rejected because I took my time to make a detailed application, and they also don't have minimum grade requirements, so I'm just putting it behind me. I'm currently moving with the mentality that 'just 1 TC offer is all I need'. By the...- Jessica Pearson

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I believe, for their vac schemes, they hold ACs for both then ask people to choose which one they prefer when they get an offer. And I don't think they hold AC's before the deadline which is Dec 19th- Jessica Pearson
