TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

[legalgrad]

I'd say its 95%+ about the performance at the AC.

However, when a candidate is borderline in a certain area or there is a slight concern/risk, firms can look back at evidence from earlier in the application process to judge whether there is stronger evidence or similarities of concern elsewhere.

Prime example - very good written exercise but with some typos/spelling mistakes/grammatical errors. A firm then may go back and look at the application form to see if there were also typos/spelling mistakes in that document as well.

Thank you so much!

Hi guys, for an application to a commercial law firm, if it asks you why do you want to become a solicitor? should you focus on becoming a solicitor in general or should you tailor your answer towards being a commercial solicitor

I want to apply to this. But my VS app is outstanding. I wish they'd just decide already.

I received it. I am wondering if it’s automatic or not?

 

[ren1110]

Is Hogan Lovells Watson Glaser Test automatically sent?

 

[xxrr.18]

Is Hogan Lovells Watson Glaser Test automatically sent?

Think it is because my application has a massive typo where half a sentence cut off but I still got a test too so I don't think they've read the applications.

Yeah it’s an automatic test but it is sent out manually in batches I believe. Best of luck!​
