    I have tended to notice that firms rely on the amberjack/cappfinity tests less than what people think unless there’s a benchmark such as at Clifford Chance , Shoosmiths and some others. VIs , the form and the CV / background carry more weight.

    Didn't think about that aspect to be honest. The price is the main issue at the moment from a fairness POV.

    Maybe the LPC with some sort of altered curriculum is what should have been needed (perhaps with the GDL being an optional prep course qualification)

    What about firms recruiting now for 2026 GSAs who don't fund TCs?
  20. A worried paralegal

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    This will be horrendous news and basically kills off the only advantage of the SQE. Will this have an impact on any GSAs that are applied for in this cycle?
