    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    @Lilrob is exactly right. The search function is a bit different now, but it should be much more effective in returning relevant results. It also gives the ability to search three letters, which I know many have flagged before when they are searching for a firm's acronym. You can also click on...

    Common mistakes on application forms.....

    Been a while since we added to this thread! Sometimes candidates submit applications to us that are really over the word count. Often, this is the case, where a candidate is trying to adapt a longer, existing answer to meet a question with a much shorter word count. While I don't mind cutting...

    Have you submitted an application to us in the last two days?

    Hey guys, Between 19 January and 20 January, we had an issue with applications submitted via our application review form not coming through to our system. If you've submitted an application to TCLA for review via the website, between those dates, and haven't received a confirmation, I'd kindly...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Very interesting to read. It does sound like you have an impressive background, but perhaps the rest of your application form wasn't strong enough to lead to an interview invitation. I'd be careful of drawing too many conclusions in your first post from your own experience. It's hard to know...

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    It looks like there is a current issue with emails being sent out (such as if you recently signed up or are seeking to reset your password). This will be fixed soon.

    Oh dear, was this on your computer? Always open to making things clearer!

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    Not at all - you are completely right. I will see if we can put the react buttons back at the bottom all the time :)

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    Looks like we need to set the permission for you guys to be able to do this. Will review tomorrow!

    Great spot, we'll get this fixed tomorrow.

    I don't get it...

    I'm really sorry to hear this, I know how hard you worked on your Skadden application. I also know how much hard work you have put into this process. I don't have much useful advice here, other than I really hope you keep going. We just need one firm to see how good you are.

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    Thanks for flagging guys, we'll have these sorted asap. I know the react options are very annoying at the moment - this will be sorted before tomorrow evening.

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    Not a stupid question - I had to work out the same thing! If you head to the forum you are watching and select 'unfollow' in the top right hand corner, you will no longer be watching that thread. Let me know if this fixes the issue!
