    It says ‘we hope to notify you with the outcome within the next couple of weeks’ and I got it on Thursday! Out of interest - which scheme did you put as your first preference?

    Can you apply for this as a non-law student? I always thought you needed a law degree!

    Completely agree - I personally have realised if you’re capable of legal assistant role, you’re capable of PA role. Pay is way better and you get to work with more senior people.

    Hey I’m a non-law student and felt the same when looking at paralegal roles because a lot of them required law degrees. I would look at legal assistant roles - you get to do slightly similar work, learn a lot and they are more open to non-law. I’m an assistant at a MG firm and really enjoy it!
