    It is not expected but I personally always did it. However, I know many people who never did it and got offers too so it definitely depends on what you want to do but it is not a requirement.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I think that you could just say the truth and explain the ways in which working now allowed you to develop your writing. Rather than focusing on the negative, I will always stress how you overcame this rejection and what you did to work on the feedback given. I personally would try to be...

    Pick something that you genuinely can talk about for a long time and that you would not mind be asked questions on. Ideally, since you applied to the firm, you should be interested in what they work on but that does not have to be directly linked in any capacity.

    I would email to confirm this because offering to provide accommodation does not mean being able to sponsor visas. For instance, I have done a vacation scheme last year and the firm was providing accommodation for the people outside of London but did not sponsor visas (and I was an international...

    I personally do not think this will be the case. I would just be very appreciative of the opportunity and express your interest in the firm and that you would like to apply again.

    I am so sorry for this @bella98, this is very relatable for a lot of people especially this application cycle and I think it is important to reflect on your experiences and what you have learned from those rejections. Additionally, asking for feedback and try to understand it will be very...

    I am assuming that they will probably be calling as this is what majority of law firms do so I would keep an eye on my phone constantly.

    I think that an email explaining the situation is more than enough. I found myself in the same situation and emailing them stressing the situation and what you want out of it (meaning an earlier update, moving dates or just rejecting the offer all together), emphasising how grateful you are...
