TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[ayiiii05]

Has anyone heard back from Linklaters for the Spring Scheme AC? Or knows anyone else who has heard back?

I was completing the WG and the internet just died in my house 😭 Fortunately, I only had about 5 minutes to go but I still had a couple of questions unanswered and had no time to check.

Ah well, guess there's no point in emailing Grad Recruitment as what can they really do? More annoyed at the wasted application!

They can typically see if a test crashed out and might be able to reset it, so no harm in contacting them to at least ask.

Anyone else applying to TLT and know what time their application closes? on their website it only says 10 January.

Is the trowers test automatic?

I sent in my application only yesterday evening. Seems like a too quick turnaround.

It isn’t. Their online brochure says successful candidates will be invited to take an online test

Thank you so much. Wow, I am impressed by their speed.

Good luck with the test!

Trowers test invite! Really surprised as I only applied two days ago.

from what I recall, it's 10 or so flash games, testing pattern recognition/memorisation, reaction time, ability to discern facial expressions etc. The worst one by FAR is the final one with the safe/bomb, where you have to pause the spinning arm(?) at just the right moment to land on a specific number..... every time you miss, you start from the beginning. spent upwards of an hour doing this after a full day of work before giving up. I made it to AC without finishing that round don't sweat it you got this!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the help

I don’t think you are expected to take a particular position on this. It is more about how you position your thinking and evidence your analysis, rather than which side you think on.

I’d also stress it is rarely black and white - although I think it is important to state a clear opinion, rather than sitting on the fence, how AI is used is probably up for discussion in this question/answer rather than simply whether it should/shouldn’t be used.

Thank you so much! Just want to clarify your last point

how AI is used is probably up for discussion

Should I focus on discussing how AI is used by law firms for tasks like document review and predictive analytics, or how AI is used by candidates in the recruitment processes within these firms?

AG Manchester voice interview invite! Any advice would be much appreciated as it is my first one and I don't know what to expect
