    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I personally would not ask this just to be on the safer side and if they said to not mention it in the open day already, it is definitely a no in the assessment centre.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Your feelings are valid so you should not apologise for how you feel. Of course it is a good dilemma to have as far as dilemmas go but it is still something affecting you and you should not apologise for it. What I would say is I would give this firm a chance and wait for this consideration...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    They do call if you get the offer but the wait is long. Last year some people waited for 5 weeks. I personally email them after the 3rd week for an earlier update so you could do that as well if needed.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    It is definitely a good sign in my opinion so I personally would not worry about it! It is difficult to tell though as I was not in the interview. However, from what you described, I would think that it went very well. The interview is not meant to be super long anyway as I think they are pretty...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    1- No, you can apply to direct training contract without the PGDL or any legal education for that matters as majority of the law firms will sponsor you anyway if successful. 2- I honestly do not know about the specific firm but I would believe the website. Alternative, you can message graduate...

    How to write an executive summary?

    https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/hks-communications-program/files/how_to_write_an_exex_summ_to_use_4_18_18.pdf This helped me massively to understand how to write one when I was in university and so I hope it can be useful to you too!

    Hi all!!

    Welcome to the community @thunder2451, I am sure that the forum will be inspiring and motivating as it was for many of us during our journeys to obtaining training contracts!

    Assessment Centre preparation for someone that has no knowledge of law?

    Hey @BJosh1928, Congratulations on obtaining many assessment centres with law firms, this is a huge achievement. As a non-law student myself last year I applied with only a consulting case study preparation the summer prior so I totally understand how you feel, but I can tell you that...

    Unsure what to do - feel like a failure

    Hey @zaratryingtodolaw, I do feel sorry for how you are feeling but you should be so proud of yourself for everything you have achieved so far. Graduating university and going through the LPC, regardless of the grades obtained, is already a huge milestone to celebrate. Additionally, you had...

    Goodwin Vacation Scheme Interview

    As far as I am aware not, however, from personal experience, they do take a while to reply so I would wait very patiently. Last year some people waited for 5 weeks. I personally emailed them for an earlier update after the 3rd week because I needed to organise myself since I was an international...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I totally understand this as last year I did not get a single assessment centre for the magic circle but US firms with less than 15 training contract offers per year were giving offers the day I applied. It is really strange, however I think you should not focus on that too much. There are so...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I think that this is not necessarily the case but law students are more inclined to apply to vacation scheme and training contracts because they are exposed to this industry earlier on in their university journey. In my law firm, 8 people out of 14 who got the training contract with me were...
