    Hey- I was in a similar position to you last year (minus being an international student). Feel free to reach out via DM if you need an ear x

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hey mate, congrats on getting to AC. Honestly in my experience the prospect of someone asking you to talk more is reasonably small, if anything it tends to be the opposite in that it's difficult to get a word in because everyone wants to say something lol. Best thing to do is to form an opinion...

    Cheers Chris- I hope you don't mind me saying this as I know it sounds a bit nosy/like I've been lurking lol, but you have been so incredibly supportive of members on this forum and I want you to know that I'm rooting for you.

    Milbank vac scheme offer :) Just wanted to drop in and say thank you to this community for making me feel less alone through the application cycle- to quote Olivia Rodrigo, it's brutal out here, and it's hard to talk to people you know irl about this sort of thing (it feels like prying!!) so...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hey guys! Currently doing an application which asks for a covering letter (to be typed into the application form) in addition to questions on the application form which cover aspects of what I would put on a covering letter ("why firm X?"/"why commercial law?")- does anyone have any guidance on...

    Hi guys- potentially a stupid question (can you tell I'm an overthinker? lol) but does the Watson Glaser collect scores automatically? That is to say, if I have completed all the questions and have proceeded to check my answers, and while I'm checking my answer the timer finishes and I do not...

    Sorry for late response! Cambridge’s (my university) degree is qualifying I’m pretty sure, so I’m guessing that’s all good? Not to speak for all BAs of course

    Thanks a lot Daniel! Just to double check, a BA degree as opposed to an LLB would be fine, right?

    On working in the US

    Hi Adam (if I may), thank you for the response I've been thinking about applying to high end American law schools e.g. Ivy Leagues and similar institutions (such as Stanford) but I'm not sure I'll end up doing it because, as you mentioned, it's long-winded and expensive. I'll probably have a...

    I am definitely interested in L&W, so this is really helpful information. I'll have a look on LinkedIn now, thank you!

    On working in the US

    Hi Daniel (if it's okay), I will be doing a 3 year law degree in the UK. Does this mean I won't have to undergo a US LLM to take the NY bar? Would I be allowed to sit the California bar exam (and subsequently begin practice in California) without any additional qualifications, assuming I have...

    On working in the US

    Hello Jessica (if I may), thank you for your response. I'm definitely thinking of perhaps trying to engineer my career towards US matters (I tend to be a bit more interested in these affairs regardless). Supposing I am lucky enough to perhaps get a secondment/move, how long do you think this...

    Hi everyone. I must preface this by stating that I am new to this forum, so I’m not certain that this has been posted in the right place. Do let me know if so. To give context to my situation, I’m due to start my law degree this autumn. Whilst I am of course keeping my options relatively open...
