    I thought it was a very backwards way to look at things. A better phrasing would be: 'we've realised that we need to do better to train junior lawyers.'

    The best thing is to book a mock interview! We'll simulate it as closely as we can to the real thing - just tell us you want to an article-based interview in the form. This is because it translates really well to the real thing (you learn how to speak your answers under pressure, so the real...

    For draft email tasks, I would most recommend booking a written exercise. I'll then review it with feedback on your writing and a model answer :) If you're looking for help with a negotiation, we run virtual negotiations with small groups and have a discount available to Bronze/Gold members...

    I tried to change it from the hearts but sadly it crashes the site. I think we are stuck with it!

    Haha - this came on a day too early. It's TCLA's birthday (7 years old!) tomorrow :) Edit: I might change it to confetti. Can you heart this if you prefer a heart and thumbs up if you prefer confetti?

    I appreciate the suggestion. This is something we'd never do: for the seven years I've been running TCLA, the community has been amazing. We always get a couple of people every year who are difficult, but this is the nature of a forum of this size. I think anonymity is really important in an...

    Sorry about this. They are upset that they have been warned about their behaviour in the forum (and sending very hostile messages to our moderator) and they're taking it out on community members. They have now been banned.

    Hi everyone, I wanted to inform you about a situation that has recently happened in the TCLA forum. On at least two occasions now, we have learnt that a member ('Member X') has been contacting other members via our private message function. It usually starts off cordial, until they exchange...

    I don't agree with this. I'm not sure why you're telling someone they need to apply somewhere else and move laterally nor why your tone is so hostile. @Tintin06, this is a really good number of applications and very helpful to see your progress. Plenty of people get training contracts without...
