TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[LawAspirer]

Anybody still hasn't heard from Cooley post-WG?
I did mine 2 weeks ago and thought I did really well and still no invite

 

[Rafa]

does anyone have any insight into how firms generally weigh each AC component? For example, a strong interview performance vs a weaker written exercise?

Did you attend a Latham AC?

 

[1stCycleApplicant]

officially 2 weeks since my Milbank AC (trad spring). Anyone have an idea when I might expect to hear back? Ik they’re running another trad spring ac today so maybe later this week

Has anyone heard back from Batman & Robin? I sent my app in mid Sept and lowkey I think they’re completely airing me. Should I assume PFO?

Still being reviewed ahem. Grad rec Alfred will get back to you shortly.

Do you people sleep? genuine question. Posting and liking all hours of the day and night! Do you have notifications on for every post or are constantly refreshing for a fix concerned more than I am intrigued lowkey ha

This is why they want to be lawyers. Willing to work all hours of the day.

Has anyone heard from Taylor wessing post online test for London summer vac scheme? I did it early/mid December and haven’t heard back (yet)

Yeah, did the written exercise yesterday but they did mention they'll have more of these scheduled in the coming weeks. ACs are in late Feb. Good luck!
