Yes, I think it makes perfect sense and it is also such an interesting story, I am sure whoever reads your application will want to know more. I think that you should be focusing on highlighting what specifically pushed you to do law over computing. This story is definitely personal to you and...- axelbeugre

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
Hey @LegallyBrown, That has been my experience too in in my interviewers and I always successful. My interviews mainly focused on me and my background and the language ability I have, I have never been asked why the firm.

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
I would say that diversifying the experiences mentioned works in your favour as the answers do not seem redundant. I was very inclined to only use legal related experiences when I was apply, though they were not much, however I got the advice that law firms like to see someone with different...- axelbeugre

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
I am sorry for this situation. I personally would advise to send a last reminder email but I would not call. This is because you do not want to disturb too much graduate recruitment, you never know how that might be counterintuitive for you later on. After the last email you send, if they do...- axelbeugre

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
I think that you will have no issues in the application process so go ahead and definitely apply! I was a non-law student myself and succeeded in my first application cycle so it is definitely possible! In terms of law firms, basically 98% of law firms recruit both law students and non-law...- axelbeugre

SJT results a mixed bag: Definitely unsuccessful?
Hey @TheUnreasonableMan, I think it is very difficult to tell and this test is quite difficult to gauge so I would not worry too much about the results. People get different results and some get through the next stages and some do not and i guess it is the nature of the application game. I...- axelbeugre
