TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

PFO from cooley

 

[Alfredo1234]

I was wondering whether any other users on here would support the notion of TCLA creating a seperate forum aimed at the more social and GIF side of things. That way information on here would be more easily accessible whilst also keeping the TCLA community in place, albeit on a seperate forum page.

What are peoples tips for answering ‘why law/commercial law’ in an interview? follow a story approach or more structured? do you have different answers for law vs commercial law? would love to know how people have approached it !!

I see your point, and I support the idea to a certain extent.

That works very well in theory, but in reality it would 1) require a lot more work from TCLA mods, and 2) to work, it would also require all users to be self-conscious enough to separate the fun and the facts by themselves.

In reality, it may very well end up that both forums have both information and community interactions, very much defeating the purpose of things. Because when people are desperate for information, they very much might head to the "fun" chat to ask, or people more active in the "fun" chat might start giving out information in that chat and vice versa etc. it'll just be a perpetual cycle. But if you think of a way that this idea might work, I'm all ears as I also don't think it's a bad idea in theory!

turns out GD doesn't even receive info on how long the test took...rushed at the end for no reason

 

[pwwzzzng]

Anxiously watching my inbox with HSFK summer vac scheme PFOs rolling out.... its the only firm I have left on my list that hasn't outright or soft rejected me. Anyone know if they're coming out slowly or if it was a one and done and I can stop obsessively reloading?

 

[Shiv Lawy]

Has anyone else got an Akin TI this Thursday? Worried that I haven't heard back about a time slot and I know they're being conducted today and Thursday and I couldn't do today as I'm taking a flight

 

[Miles Edgeworth]
