TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Just wanted to add from the previous query, I found this one link for the application portal.. but all too confusing... For anyone who applied using this link: https://careers.bakermckenzie.com/en_US/opportunities/Register, do the actual questions with word limits appear after registering? All of this feels so confusing. fsr.cvmail is/was way better in that you can look at the entire application requirements all at once. Plus the two don't seem to be at par.. 😭
pretty sure the cvmail is for earlier years applications and 2028 applications are through the dreadful website. You have to register first. It doesn't save properly so if you get interrupted and you time out then the likelihood is that you will have lost all of your work
