TCLA has many plans for the New Year, including filming a series of partners/legal tech companies for our classes. The most valuable information I get, however, is always from you guys. What would you like to see at TCLA? What do you think would be useful to students?- Jaysen

Questions to ask a Law Firm at Interview
I came across a list of general questions I had prepared to ask law firms at interviews. I thought I'd share in case you need some back up questions (ideally, you wanna go for genuine questions). I've split them between questions to ask partners/trainees/graduate recruitment. A little warning...- Jaysen

Useful links and resources
Great article!! This was exactly what I was thinking when I mentioned Slaughters. I get the feeling Slaughter's senior partner is quite close to Mike Lynch:- Jaysen

Where should a law firm open its next office?
This is a good article by Dechert on how Saudi Arabia is trying to transform its economy: https://info.dechert.com/10/9009/july-2017/saudi-arabia-s-transformational-privatization-plans.asp?sid=851663ca-7486-4a0b-812e-a75d3c02aec4.

US Firms TC Applications/Cover Letters
I'm not as familiar with GT, but in a cover letter, you usually want to cover why commercial law, why the firm and why you. Have you tried Chambers Associate? Not all relevant, but it can give some background info for US firms...- Jaysen

Some Food for Thought
I'd put it like this. Generally speaking, and this is very simplified, to get a TC you need to: Have pretty good grades Write an application that stands out Perform well at interview/on a vac scheme, which means: Show you can work well with others Build a rapport with your interviewer...- Jaysen

Law Firm Cover Letter
I should add - I reviewed a W&C application (today, actually) where a student merged why W&C with personal examples really well. It is definitely possible to merge those two, but I suggest you try to be more direct and specific with your reasons for applying to W&C and how that is relevant to...- Jaysen

Some Food for Thought
Great book (Quiet). I couldn't agree more. It's not always easy, but you can get through the process being you. You may have to go out of your way in certain areas, but you don't have to mould yourself into someone else to succeed.- Jaysen

work experience section
Good question. While we don't review work experience in applications, I've seen so many different approaches to this section. Back when I approached this, I would always go for the concise summary of my responsibilities. It was my view that firms wanted your "pitch" in the application...- Jaysen
