    Happened to me with BCLP! Emailed them the same day that I got the open day invite (which was for February 2023) and they offered to put me onto the next open day (tomorrow!).

I think if you’re at uni now, and you’re getting mid to high 2:1s and firsts in a lot of your modules; that could help too. Because it shows that without those...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Were your caring responsibilities made known to your faculty/university? If there’s a written record of it that you can get from your university and if you can adequately communicate how it impacted your studies on an application then I don’t see why not! Especially if you lived with the carer...

    Firstly, if it’s an article, I’d name it. So full title, date and name of publication. Summarise it, why it’s interesting to you/your opinion on it, what are the commercial implications of the story on the legal field (for example, AI, firms in general want to start using AI to give advice to...

    I think it’s a lot! I thought most firms would just do a final interview at the end but two ACs for one firm in the space of 6 months is a lot 🤣

    Attended the Fieldfisher Diversity Access Scheme Launch Event. So the current process is an application, strengths test and virtual AC. Rather than having a final interview/presentation to convert the DAS into a TC offer, you need to do an entire in person AC consisting of a written exercise...
