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

    Been asked to complete a conflicts form for a VS but needs to go back three years... I can't remember the matters I worked on before 2 years ago - is this a massive problem? Thinking of submitting only including everything I can remember!

    I got a VS (yay!) and I sent them all the necessary documents (passport/offer letter etc.) last week on Friday, but they haven't acknowledged receipt or gotten in contact... Wondering if I should follow up? Thanks!! :)

    If an interview is CV-blind, does that mean your interviewers have your cover letter or have nothing at all (i.e. no CV but have your cover letter, or no CV and no cover letter)? Thank you!

    I'm interested as well - the only thing is my job is very demanding and I may not be able to attend every week. Will that be an issue for those in the group? Thanks!

    I have an AC in which I need to present my thoughts on a recent news story (since 1 March). The issue is, all there is atm is Ukraine. How risky is it to choose this, especially considering they do a lot of energy work & so while this story does make sense, I feel it may be too 'obvious'? Thank you!

    I'm wondering if I should follow up on some of my applications - I've seen people who applied on the same day as me or after already get VI/AC offers when I have heard nothing... e.g. W&C, Hogan Lovells, Akin, Sidley... Anyone in the same boat?
