TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[futureharveyspecter]

also finished ff round 2. it's a job simulation so questions are about how you'd respond in certain scenarios. i dont think i can really give specific details but it's really nothing scary at all, just prepare as you would for a standard interview process

Was it focused on commercial awareness or just SJT type of questions in general?

Latham & Watkins Open Day invite! - for October.

Hi congrats, I hope the open day went well!

Just wondering if there was a video interview element after the SJT for the open day, or just SJT?

Does anyone have any advice for the Mayer Brown app. The question is Please use this section to tell us about any academic or non academic achievements and interests not covered elsewhere in this application. 300 words
I am not quite sure what to put, usually I put volunteering and committee roles in my work experience form but should I exclude them and add them here?

I realised after submitting my application to Covington that I made two small errors. Firstly, I forgot to mention the year for one of my modules and I wrongly stated my position in one of my work experience I am a little concerned, as I felt confident about the rest of my answers. Do you know if Covington is very strict about minor mistakes like these. Is there anything you would suggest I do in this situation? Reed Smith">@Abbie - Reed Smith

They told me within a couple of days of completing the assessment, but I applied for the winter vac scheme.

have people heard back from W&C for their winter scheme? I know it's rolling and I was wondering if it's stupid to apply today (deadline day)
