I think Clifford Chance is the only one (although not 100% sure). They encourage third years to apply directly for TCs.
I believe the answers to Q2 and Q3 are both yes.
I believe the answers to Q2 and Q3 are both yes.
And they encourage third years irrespective of whether you were successful in applying for a vac scheme! I was unsuccessful applying for the CC VS, but I'm gonna re-apply for a TC in September once I've made improvements to my application technique and grades. They don't look at or even consider whether you applied for a VS as far as I know.
