You can’t really unfortunately. It’s just something to prepare for at interview stage. You should just explain you were subsequently diagnosed.- TCLA Community Assistant

The academic progression is often see as a positive aspect. But your first year grades are still important to law firms and most will want to see them too. However, given your extenuating circumstances this is less of an issue and you should disclose the MCs. Just be mindful if you got a 2.1 in...- TCLA Community Assistant

No - I would try to cover your main responsibilities even if they were similar, the same. It doesn’t matter that they are similarly especially given its directly transferable to the type of work you would do in a law firm.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
You can talk about the pro/cons of the option you are focusing on and I would expect that to be sufficient, especially given the time limit you have. This is obviously just my opinion though - usually instructions on exercises like this will give you some guidelines on how to structure your...- TCLA Community Assistant

Law firms requesting LPC candidates to do SQE 2 and phasing out of the LPC (what does this mean for LPC candidates?)
Many firms only want one qualification process per intake of trainees. The reason for that is that there are a lot of differences in the training contract structure, requirements and even how the trainee themselves is employed. So many firms will want future trainees to convert their LPC...- TCLA Community Assistant

Winter vac scheme outcomes
Typically they will offer shortly after the scheme. Due to Christmas/New Year this may not be until some point in January. It would be very rare for an employer to run a scheme in the winter but wait until the summer to make offers, just because it’s highly likely they will lose the talent in...- TCLA Community Assistant

Impossible for me to comment on as I don’t know what they were assessing. Sorry to be so unhelpful but it would be completely disingenuous for me to put my thoughts forward on how it went.- TCLA Community Assistant

You can ask for an extension, but the firm may not provide it to you. It only tends to be for extenuating circumstances that firms provide a longer deadline, but there is no harm in asking.- TCLA Community Assistant

You just need to provide your grades as you have them - you shouldn’t try to convert them on an application. Unfortunately the calculation you are suggesting isn’t as simple as 74% equals a first in the U.K.. Just provide the grades as on your transcript and the firm will know roughly what they...- TCLA Community Assistant

It will probably need to be more in depth. What you write on an application form could probably be said in less than a minute, so my advice is to take the themes of what you have said in an application but delve deeper into those themes. It also gives you an opportunity to highlight any other...- TCLA Community Assistant

Training Contract/Vacation Scheme offers to international law students studying outside UK?
Yes - that's correct. Exceptions tends to be if they have a specific recruitment drive to recruit people from that nationality for a longer term growth strategy (eg I have done it for candidates from the US/India/Australia).- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
My advice would be for every negative thought you have about the interview, find a positive, even if it seems quite minor or basic (eg turning up on time, smiling etc). It may seem silly, but it will help you frame the positive aspects and create some balance to your thinking. People tend to...- TCLA Community Assistant
