    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Does anyone know if Davis Polk & Wardwell accept applications from non-law students? On their website it says 'We will be accepting applications for our summer 2023 vacation scheme from penultimate-year law undergraduates and law postgraduates' - I just thought it was slightly unusual as most...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I got mine about 3 hours after I submitted the application form but since applications are rolling and the deadline is not for a while, I think it can vary hugely. Speaking to another firm which does rolling applications last week, the Grad Rec lady said that though applications were open for...

    Any advice on approaching the question 'What current issues do you think have an impact on the legal profession?' - Are they looking for a commercial answer or things like hybrid working, technology etc? Sorry if this is an obvious question but just wanted to make sure I wasn't approaching it...

    I did the tests on Thursday last week, got the results on Saturday! The results are in the format of a report - for the SJT it tells you your top three strengths and for the VRT it tells you whether you got below average, average or above average on each section. I haven't heard back from the...

    Sorry I should have mentioned this in the first comment, but I think it might not be *timed* as such, instead they measure the time it takes for you to get through each section if that makes sense?

    Hey, I took it last week - not sure if the SJT part is timed but I know the verbal reasoning part is.

    Has anyone else not heard anything from White & Case (since applying - no VI offer or rejection yet) and Shearman & Sterling (since submitting the application back in October) I have been tempted to email Grad Rec but don't want to come across as impatient. However it seems like most people have...
