TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4
I meant with advancing. Some firms eliminate based solely on test scores while Ashurst view them with the application simultaneously. The pro is that it gives everyone a chance but the negative is that the wait is longer- A worried paralegal

People usually apply for TCs or Vac Schemes in their second and third years. Small firms after you graduate but that is only for first shots and you can get them even years after you graduate.- A worried paralegal

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

The idea is that the good firms fund anyway and the self finders get the rest of the firms who save on SQE costs but lose out on training. It creates a weird scenario where qualifying can become a negative if you have big firm...- A worried paralegal

Firms in my area that offer open days that aren't as competitive as general applications won't fund the LPC/SQE and so would not fix the problem.
