    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hello! I have been allocated to a seat for a VS in an area that I am not particularly familiar with. I've read the firm pages on it, but otherwise have no idea how to prepare! There are lots of resources online and not sure where to start. Any help would be much appreciated :)

    @Andrei Radu Hello, I hope you are well! I am a non-Law student. On a VS, where do we start with legal research? If we are tasked with a specific query, do we check LexisNexis for the current law? Kinda unsure how to find relevant statute or case law etc.

    Fantastic advice, thank you so so much! I've also heard people refer to your interview guides/ posts. If you could direct me towards these, that would be amazing. I'd appreciate it so much!

    I hope everyone is well! 1) I have an assessment centre and need to prepare a case study presentation. How can I best prepare? 2) I also have a mark-up exercise. Again, how can I prepare? 3) How do I research and structure a question on what case interests you? How can I best prepare when...

    Did people with pfos from Bakers apply late? I applied on the deadline which was probably not wise lol

    So sorry to hear this. I am sure you can use parts of the application to build better answers! Your TC will come eventually! I hope you don't mind me asking but was the test basically a WG or a WG with only some elements? Thank you.

    GDL Part-Time Evening

    Does anyone know the number of contact hours per week and start times for the evening part-time pgdl at UoL or City or London Met? I'm considering working part-time and would like to know what time the lectures/tutorials start and how many days per week. Thanks!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I'm sure this is a stupid question but how feasible is it to do the gdl while applying for TC's, extracurriculars, possibly working weekends etc? How many contact hours are there typically and how many hours of self-study/prep?

    I didn't ask but I'm curious to know about the latter!

    @Jessica Booker I hope you are well. I decided it would be better to post here. I was quite ashamed of asking on a public forum but I guess rejection is part of the process! Over the summer I completed two VS. Unfortunately, I did not get a TC offer from one and I do not think my other scheme...
