    What is the point of having these awfully long (and might I add, pointless...) debates when no one is actually taking anything away from it? 😭 😭 😭

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I really don't think the argument that people who go to Oxbridge work harder than others because Oxbridge is difficult and intense is a fair one. People are plenty hard working and intelligent wherever they go. It's not justifiable to say (or imply) that Oxbridge people are more intelligent than...

    MA Law conversion

    Hi all, was wondering if anyone had any insight on doing the MA Law conversion at the University of Law? I'm considering it, but I'm unsure about whether it will do anything to help my prospects. Of course, the main reason I am considering it is to gain knowledge as a non-law student, but I...

    Very broad question - what do open days typically consist of (aside from the networking aspect)?

    Sometimes when I make applications, I can literally see that I'm not gonna get anything from it lol, and it's so hard to move past that feeling and just apply anyway (writing this as I'm applying for an open day that I can tell I'm not gonna get) 🥹

    Bit of a random question but why do some firms choose not to disclose their female/bme statistics? Is it because of the obvious - that they're lacking in that department or is it another reason?

    I think this question has been asked before so my apologies for repeating - but what is considered a small trainee intake? Is it anything under 10? Is 12 considered a small intake?

    Thank you Jessica! An additional question, are these sorts achievements not considered here then: for example, running a marathon or something, or learning a new language

    When talking about achievements, is it okay to talk about non-academic ones/what can actually be considered as an achievement? Apologies for the very broad question but if anyone has any examples, I would appreciate it!

    Just completed Fieldfisher's online assessment. These type of assessments are so they can 'know' you as a person and so of course we should answer as sincerely as possible, but I still find myself considering the answers with the thought of 'would this be the answer they want' lol (even though I...
