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

    I have a question of slightly different nature - I recently received an offer for a place on a vac scheme. Grad rec said they would send me the documents the next day, but they have not. Does anyone have any advice on this? Would it be better to wait a little longer, or send them an email...

    Quick question - if a spring vac scheme is cancelled and re-scheduled for a summer vac scheme, does this mean that there will be less slots left for the summer vac scheme? I have an AC coming up and was wondering if this would in anyway be affected!

    All this coronavirus thing is driving me insane. My parents are pressuring me to return home so I've had to email grad rec to possibly arrange for an alternative assessment for my AC. At this point in time there's so much uncertainty its to the point of paralysis...

    Hey everyone! I've gotten an AC for Eversheds Sutherland, and would greatly appreciate if anyone has any tips on it! Also, I've been going over the firm profile again, and it seems that what's extremely attractive about the firm is the culture more so than anything else? In terms of its work...
