TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Does a campus ambassador role for a year go under work experience section?
Does virtual experience programme on forage go under work experience section as well because their (forage) guideline is to include it under 'achievements'

Thanks in advance

i have a sneaky feeling w&c will send out a cheeky pfo today for wvs

If a firm has told you to do it, then I would always do so. It’s better to take any guidance on this from the horse’s mouth, rather than someone else’s opinion.

Thank you, I understand what you mean! Might not have phrased my question clearly enough, since what I was actually wondering about is the work experience section (different from the competence Q). For the work experience section they do not have guidance on whether to link it back to commercial law or not. That is why I wondered, whether I should asusme they want it in this section too (since it was asked for in the comptence Q) or whether no guidance means, just describe the work/skills themselves

Has anyone heard back regarding A&O Summer vac scheme? Should I just assume PFO at this point?

Does anyone know the type of questions on the Latham & Watkins VI at the end of the SJT?

WVS, I applied on the 24th but completed my WG on the 30th, it took a while to come through.

In a cover letter, is it okay to mention your completion of another firm's Forage course as a means to emphaise 'why law' and attest to your interest in a certain area of law?

Writing to a firm to change the schedule from a winter wvs to spring or summer after accepting an offer with them feels so embarrassing...

Hey, this is the advice that I gave to someone who asked the same question, I hope that helps:

For the Latham application - does anyone know if the SJT is automatic or you have to pass the application stage and then get invited to the SJT and VI?

does the SJT include a VI as well? I can't seem to find it on their website and can't remember there being one from past years applications
