    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    baker have started looking at apps. From previous years if the portal changes from details locked to not anonymous means they’ve at least opened it. For reference I applied about a month ago (right after open) and it changed one of these days (haven’t been on the portal in about a week and a half)

    This year they’re reviewing it on a rolling basis. “We review applications on a rolling basis but never make offers to fill all our places before the application deadline.”

    I think something to think about isn’t what the title/firm was but what transferable skills you gained. With that said though, direct apps usually have experienced applicants (a lot of foreign trained jurists) so experience is definitely valued

    Indeed. The Q was about apps from the direct route.

    Those that have applied, what does your Baker McKenzie “anonymity” section say in your app overview? Not anonymous or Details locked?

    No news so far, only a feedback report. Last years forums suggest a big delay.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    From previous cycles, does anyone know whether there is any truth to Baker’s portal changing their Anonimity status from details locked to not anonymous being a signal that your app has been viewed/decided on?
