TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
I personally wouldn’t go into modules as it’s not really relevant, and your grades will be elsewhere on your form- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
The other thing to mention is it might be worthwhile checking with firms where many are transitioning to the SQE and so may no longer see the value in reimbursing the LPC when they are just going to get you to do the SQE anyway.- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
The only way they’d find out if you told them or you publicly stated that was your intention (eg you start posting on LinkedIn about attending events or applying in the next cycle etc). The only repercussions are likely to be if you receive financial support from the firm. Otherwise the firm...- TCLA Community Assistant

It isn’t really common as such, but it does happen. When it does, it is typically before you receive any financial support from the firm (eg before they sign you up to the GDL/LPC/SQE or give you any funding/bursaries/grants).- TCLA Community Assistant

Visa and Vac Schemes
Ah ok. if a firm recruits exclusively or heavily from vacation schemes it is going to be difficult for them to accommodate you. There is no harm contacting them directly to ask though.- TCLA Community Assistant

Visa and Vac Schemes
If you graduated this summer, you could consider applying for a post-graduate visa - gives you the right to work in the UK for up to 2 years after graduation.- TCLA Community Assistant

A lot of being a lawyer is thinking on your feet. Therefore many interview questions are going to be designed to test this ability - and you won’t be able to prepare for them. So you aren’t doing anything wrong.- TCLA Community Assistant

It maybe that the question has been asked by a firm before. It’s just an awful question which in the vast majority of cases is only going to get an awful answer 😂- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d be surprised if you got asked this question. There is a huge amount of differences between UK firms, same for US. Some US firms will be more like UK firms than they will their US counterparts. I honestly don’t think there is an answer for this beyond one category originating from the US and...- TCLA Community Assistant

feeling ashamed
Asking for help is an absolutely vital part of being a lawyer, throughout your career. You will never stop asking for help until the day you retire or decide that being a lawyer isn’t right for you. Therefore don’t feel ashamed about it - in fact it’s something you need to embrace and see as a...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
They just want to find a topic you are interested about. It doesn’t have to be anything connected to law/commercial law at all. They just want to find out what interests you have outside of work and what kind of things you read/listen to/keep yourself busy - basically the things that are going...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Not really in all honesty. Firms tend to try and keep to a fairly consistent/standard set of information as a matter of fairness to all candidates. I have seen enough attached for it to not be an issue should you choose to include one. But I wouldn’t go out of your way to get one for VS or TC...- TCLA Community Assistant

Not pre requisites as such but your answers needs to explain why you want to be a trainee solicitor at the firm, not just why you want to work at the firm, and so other references that are specific to trainees are important to include (that might not just be practice areas or training structure...- TCLA Community Assistant
