TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
I wouldn’t necessarily say a direct advantage, but many firms will get feedback from your department/supervisor to include in the decision making process, and that feedback can be beneficial in at least getting you an interview. Some firms don’t do this and keep the process consistent, but many...- TCLA Community Assistant

Choosing electives on the LPC
This all looks fine to me. It would only be if you wanted to go into a firm that was very heavily finance focused that they may want to see electives more aligned to those topics. But I think that wouldn’t highly influence a decision on an application anyway.- TCLA Community Assistant

General question on reapplying for a TC / VS
Not “completely new” but your application should be updated, refined and critically evaluated for improvements. Recruiters can often take the logic of that if not much has changed in the applicants profile, there is probably a strong chance of the same outcome from the recruitment process the...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
Sometimes people are rejected because they may not benefit from attending the open day. If your profile is strong enough to be considered for a direct application for a VS or TC, they may just think you are better suited to applying directly for those. Or they could have seen the list of more...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
Personal qualities are your characteristics or strengths you have. The key thing with this question is it is not asking you what your personal qualities are, more lawyers more generally. The reality is you could pick hundreds of different points here that could all be considered as reasonable...- TCLA Community Assistant

Being a Paralegal and Vacation Schemes
You should really speak to you line manager at an appropriate time about this. You might want to wait until you are getting interviews and need time off to attend them, but a lot of people want to make sure they are able to do VS before applying and so may check this with their line manager...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
As the question is worded in plurals I would aim for multiple points, but this could be one challenge and two opportunities or vice versa. The number isn’t really important though, but you will need analysis as to why these will be particularly of relevance to the practice group you have...- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes, information can change. I don’t think someone is going to pick you up on how many jurisdictions the deal was or wasn’t though. They don’t want you to recite these type of facts, they want to get to your opinion or analysis of the matter.- TCLA Community Assistant
