    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Hi all, Just a note based on the discussion yesterday. It's perfectly fine for someone to have done well in this process (i.e. have secured a vacation scheme) and to be nervous about an upcoming AC. This forum is for everyone, including those who are doing well in this process. It's also very...

    Exactly. What I'm thinking at the moment: (1) There will be a tracker to organise your application progress in the forum (2) You can opt in to sharing your progress which is then anonymously uploaded to a live feed (3) You can then 'view' all results, if you want to get the anonymous...

    Let me know if I can help with anything on this. Was planning to build something like this for the next cycle: (Just a rough mock up)

    Not right now, unfortunately. We will add it to the list of new firms!

    Also, a big welcome back to @Abbie Whitlock to the TCLA forum. (I have missed her presence here!)

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Just to weigh in on the other side, I don't think it's unreasonable for law firms not to provide feedback at the application stage. This is quite normal for companies. I do appreciate it's very frustrating for applicants, and I can completely see why. You spend so much time working on your...

    Hey! If you click on search -> advanced search, does this fix it for you? Edit: I see @Winter has explained this!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Thanks for the helpful posts on this. It's useful to see what you all think. My sense at the moment is to stick to one thread. I think GIFs are fine. Many of you make me laugh with your posts, and I find it lightens up what is otherwise a very intense process. I'd just be mindful not to...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    In the past, we used to have a general discussion thread and a vacation scheme thread. I'd be happy to do this again. One downside is I think it would split everyone into two places. Would be curious to know everyone's thoughts, though, especially for next cycle. Could you react with the ✅...

    Hey all, Just a reminder to keep things friendly in this thread. Around this time of year, tensions can be high, and it’s hard to read intent in written communication. Please try not to carry on disagreements and use the report function instead. Thank you!

    Thanks all - if any user is pretending to hear back from firms, we will remove them from the forum. Please do feel free to email me in the future if you need to flag this up ([email protected]) or use the report button in the forum. This will then give me time to look into it. I...

    Just to follow up on this, if any users have information, please feel free to send this to me privately and we can take any necessary actions. But I don't think it's productive to publicly pile on to someone without more information.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I'm a bit confused by your reaction here, to be honest. There isn't any information to suggest this user is a scammer, other than not wanting to share their test scores. Without more information, I don't think it's reasonable to come into the forum and call the user out for this.
