TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

Interesting! @Jessica Booker Hi Jessica, what would you say is the ideal length? I'm currently applying to a firm that has a word limit of 250 but I typically keep all my entries at 100 words, will this be sufficient? For reference, I have like 10 work experience entries.

Seeing some people on here got through to the Bird & Bird VI so I'll share my experience so everyone can see. This is from 2020 so may be outdated. My VI was four questions with approximately 1 minute 30 seconds to answer. The questions were: 1 motivational question, 1 question on legal tech...
