TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Tell us about a personal achievement outside of law that you’re proud of. What did it teach you? (250 words) - Really struggling with this as I feel most of my achievements are somewhat law related e.g things I've done in my legal work experience or degree. I've got non-legal work experience but nothing is standing out as to what i'm proud of

Im curious about this one as well. Would mentoring a peer in a subject during studies be a sufficient example for this?

Anyone still waiting to hear back from W&C post-interview? Had mine almost 3 weeks ago

do you think Kennedys have given out offers and waiting for people to accept/reject before sending us PFOs? T-T

I think we would have heard someone getting an offer.., hoping we’ll start to know where we stand soon

I'd say that's a good example!

personally I don't think you can prepare that much for amberjack. You have to go with your gut feeling. It's supposed to assess how you personally react and what you personally prioritise. So one person might naturally be a leader in a group situation, another might be a solid team player. Both are important skills but amberjack will assess your natural tendency. Relax and it will be fine.
