TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[I’m_Batman]

Anyone have a list of deadlines that close at 11:59 today?

Feeling a little motivated after Jaysen’s email.

I was interested in a few but the deadlines were at lunch time today.

Normally go via Legal Cheek and Chambers Student table.

Anyone know what time Orrick deadline is? Are all deadlines 23:59?

 

[scotstudent23]

Just had it a couple days ago; I think it went pretty well. How about yourself?

Oh well done! Fingers crossed for you. Mine is next week 🙂. I wonder how many people they are taking to the AC stage, do you know? Hope your presentation etc went well

@Jessica Booker- I want to purchase one of the TCLA written exercise packs as I have my first-ever AC written exercise coming up (OC AC), I was wondering which one I should select between the Technical written exercise and the Legal and Commercial Analysis written exercise. What is the difference between the two? Thanks

Hi!

The technical exercise is contract-based exercise, whilst the legal and commercial analysis exercise is based on analysing a law firm's thought leadership article and providing a recommendation to a client. It seeks to test comprehension, analysis and succinctness.

All the best of luck for your first AC - you've got this!

Does anyone know any mid-small firms in London with their deadline being today? Not the firms that are on the deadline list on TCLA please.

If we haven't received any updates from Kirkland (not even VI!), is it safe to consider it a PFO at this point? Applied on 30 Dec.

 

[johnnn821]

Anything from Goodwin for those who are still waiting?

I already considered it a PFO (didn't receive a VI either) because apparently they already finished their first round of AC

I applied on 3rd of Nov
