GDL part-time?
By the time you would be eligible to start a TC (2025), many firms will have moved to the SQE. Although the GDL will be a good way to prep for the SQE, it is probably the most expensive way. Therefore, if money is an issue, you could look at cheaper alternatives to the GDL or just apply this...- TCLA Community Assistant

Why is A&O considered cutting edge?
We completely understand that - it is a very common feeling our members will have from time to time, but the forum is one where you won’t be judged negatively for trying to learn. As mentioned, you can always ask people whether they would be willing to review your answer via PM. This is...- TCLA Community Assistant

Why is A&O considered cutting edge?
For people to give feedback on this forum, they really need to understand some of your thinking. As the post was just asking why the firm is innovative without demonstrating your own thinking, they are unable to really comment, which is why the replies are driving you to sources that may help...- TCLA Community Assistant

Just pick something you are interested in and can talk confidently about. The subject can be anything, but it needs to reflect you rather than trying to fit a mould of what you think your interviewers might want to hear.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
That would still apply to application forms. It’s very clear they do not see it as work experience and therefore are telling you not to claim it as such in any format. Instead you should claim it as a form of training/certification. It’s very simple - just reference it elsewhere in your...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Technically the terms sit with Forage not to include it - when you complete a Forage programme you basically sign/tick something that says you won’t include it in work experience. So it shouldn’t really matter what the firm says you should/shouldn’t do, you should be doing what you have agreed...- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes, you can cover this as long as it isn’t over emphasised (eg it suggests you are only interested in reaching partnership).- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d just wait for the response back from A&O to see what they say. Apart from that, use your judgement based on how much you’d want to do a VS with the firm (eg, if you got a TC offer would you need some form of reassurance they are the right firm for you that you might get from doing a VS).- TCLA Community Assistant

SQE - general discussion
You could take the LPC - you’ll be eligible to do so where you started a qualifying law degree before 21 September 2021. However, you might not get to choose. Many firms will tell you which route they will be supporting you through, and because this is the last year non-law grads can take the...- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d probably put both of them as interests rather than extra curriculars. Extra curriculars to me is something that you have to commit to that makes a different to others. So if you are organising the book club, that could be something to include.- TCLA Community Assistant
