Hi everyone! As law firms continue to announce their deadlines for the upcoming cycle, the list below will be updated :) Always check the time that the application is due on the website - if the firm's website does not mention a specific time (especially if the firm uses apply4law) then it...- James Carrabino

Rolling/Non-Rolling 2022-2023

I have compiled a list (this is still a work in progress as many firms are yet to update their recruitment pages for the new cycle) of firms by whether they are recruiting on a rolling basis or not for the upcoming application cycle. You should look at this in conjunction with my...- James Carrabino

Honestly, you should be able to arrange a short interview before the work day starts or after it ends, and if not, you can claim something university-related (e.g. a compulsory debrief with your advisor)!- James Carrabino

@Arendt0927 I want to start by saying how sorry I am to hear that you have found yourself in this position.

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

@sh.95 I am really sorry to hear this; it is always awful failing to convert a VS and I can understand that are seeking thorough and reasoned feedback. I am not sure that you should worry too much about whether or not they give you a phone call or send an e-mail, however. I remember when...- James Carrabino

A*BB for firms seeking AAB
@JoshHNI I agree with @Jessica Booker but I would also feel comfortable applying to firms with slightly higher requirements than you fulfil in one area as it sounds like you could always make up for them in another area! Firms often take some discretion as to their requirements and it is rare...- James Carrabino
