    TCLA did do a list with firms who applied from VS or TC, and Withers is in the "Mostly from Vacation Scheme but with a consistently healthy direct TC intake" list, so hopefully it is automatic?

    Do people use "drafting" or "draughting" in their answers? I know "draughting" is the correct British English spelling but it just looks so weird, and I don't know if it's actually that common practice?
