TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
This is definitely a good idea, and I’ve advised many people to do the same. Just be mindful that the application questions for each firm may change each cycle. Though for some firms, I’ve seen them not change for many years. Regardless, if you have structured answers to the work experience...- Amma Usman

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I understand the pressure of not hearing back yet. However, often times, GR will review applications in stages and batches. Emailing them will not make them get back to you any faster. Especially now that VS’ are ongoing and there’s a lot of internal work to do. I understand it’s hard, but I...- Amma Usman

You don’t need to message them on LinkedIn as you’ll meet them soon enough, and in person, anyway. I understand that you may want to get the ground running early but you will get more time during the scheme to build rapport.- Amma Usman

Hi everyone
In terms of how to navigate the TCLA site, yes you are right - the forum itself is a site that is different from the other site whereby courses are placed. That other site is teachable, but can also be accessed by logging in at - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/ Definitely apply to a...- Amma Usman

Hi everyone
So often times, firms will have a policy whereby you can not apply to them twice in the same cycle. It’s worth checking each FAQ section/ contacting graduate recruitment to confirm. Though, I advise just pouring your all into a single application for each law firm, to avoid thinking about...- Amma Usman

For those that may be interested, I just wanted to flag that Bird & Bird’s first year scheme closes on the 3rd of July! Best of luck to those interested. When I was offered the role back then , I remember it was just an application form - so ensure to make your answers fully tailored to the...- Amma Usman

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
I’m sorry about this. I know rejections hurt, and it’s okay to feel that. But making it that far means something - it means you belong. One "no" doesn’t undo the potential they saw in you, and it definitely doesn’t touch what’s coming next. Take a breath, feel what you need to feel, then lock...- Amma Usman

I will still keep put some hope, largely as I know law firms usually process these in different timelines, such as how early one submitted their application, completed an assessment, etc. Sometimes, these review responsibilities are also divided between the early careers team, in which case a...- Amma Usman

I am unsure about the test structure for the firm, so I have linked a screenshot to help with general law firm assessments. It mainly centres on SJTs though. So, even if it’s not directly applicable to this firm, I’m sure you’ll find it useful for some other purpose. Best of luck - we’re rooting...- Amma Usman
