    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    You can always ask but be prepared for them to say no. Some people apply to regional offices thinking it’ll be less competitive then try to switch to London and firms are aware of this. But if your circumstances have genuinely changed I don’t think there’s harm in asking (someone else might have...

    From the website the SJT is just for direct TC applicants. It looks like for the VS it’s just the WG then AC. In previous years they sent the WG in batches so I’d say it could still be positive news

    I read it as just the cover letter, but I don’t think you have to fill the 2 pages (last year mine was about 1.5 pages and I got through to the VI)

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Last year at the Legal Cheek law fair, I asked if I could apply during my final year, and they said I could, as long as I clearly explained my plans for the gap year in my cover letter. So I assume as a graduate, if you can show what you’re doing in the meantime, you can apply. But I’m not 100%...

    I think you can just be honest and say you thought it was due today as you didn’t know weekends were included as ‘working days’. The worst that can happen is they say no, I’d say it’s worth trying

    I put the 4 most relevant (I still put them in chronological order) and did full paragraphs in the other box. *when I say relevant I mean in terms of skills, e.g. I put a non law related hospital job as there was more to show than a legal open day.

    Just wanted to say, HSF is non-rolling, so everyone that passes the test is put in the ‘wait and see pile’. The people that have progressed to AC already must’ve applied for the winter VS.

    I don’t think Norton Rose Fulbright is one, they just require a 2.1 (they don’t mention high 2.1 anywhere) and they take mitigating circumstances into account
