LLM application - I have shared tips for LLM applications and my Personal Statement in this thread https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/advice-for-llm-personal-statements.2806/ :)
Thank you for asking this question - I was literally going to post about it as I am feeling similarly confused about whether to make notes and how to best process the material
I completely agree. I had mostly non-legal work experience and uni society positions and had one 4-day long vacation scheme that I mentioned in my work experience section. It did not really come up anywhere else, not in my app or interviews, as it was quite simple and didn't give me that much. I...
Hi Kola,
These answers are my personal opinions and how I would do it, so please take it with a pinch of salt.
1. It is perfectly fine to work for firm B during the summer, training contracts are independent of other jobs and there is nothing preventing you from working (anywhere) before you...
Hi, I think it really depends on other applicants and how many applications they get. Sometimes people apply even in May and it is fine while other times they select all candidates in March.
As per the grades, I think it really depends - what did they tell you? When I applied to UCL, I got a...
Hi isobelhowe, I think I shared most of my tips here https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/advice-for-llm-personal-statements.2806/. , however, if you still need help please drop me a message! :)
I agree with @Jessica Booker and @Alice G - it really depends on what you enjoy and what your aspirations are!
From personal experience, I can see that there are benefits to working as a paralegal, working at a different job, or doing the LLM. I am due to start TC next year and I worked as a...
Where they don't provide specific guidance, I always recommend going for full sentences rather than using bullet points, as it allows you to showcase your ability to write well and in a concise manner. I also think it shows that you took your time with the application!
You are not late at all! When I applied, I applied in the second half of February I believe and they were accepting application long into April/May. It depends on the year and how many people apply, but I think as long as you get it in by the end of February/March you should be fine!
This is very helpful, thanks a lot! It would be great to know whether there was some kind of "Easter break" as you get with Christmas, but I think I will have to get in touch with BPP directly once my application is accepted. Thanks again!
Hi guys! I have a question about the term dates of the Accelerated LPC at BPP as they are very difficult (if not impossible) to find online. I am due to start the LPC in February 22 and I really need to know at least approximately whether there is any break throughout the course - be it even...
I agree with Jaysen but feel that with DLA Piper it is possible to highlight their pro bono work as they are known to have an "army of pro bono lawyers" and are quite known in this regard. If you do so, however, make sure you can explain what is it specifically about their pro bono practice you...
If it helps, I applied last year for the Spring Vac Scheme on 25 November and received the Assessment Centre invite on 31st January, with the AC being on 13th February. While some things might have changed from last year, there is no need to panic as it takes them a long time to review all of...
