Non-native English speakers in Law and confidence
Having experienced what you described personally and feeling like I was out of place, I have tried to work on my accent as much as possible since coming to the UK 7 years ago, but I still have an accent. It is now faint, but definitely something I notice. I feel comfortable enough with my...- Newborntrainee

Notion template for TC application and interview
Hi everyone! When applying for training contracts, I found myself overwhelmed with a lot of information and have tried to put everything in one place. I used Notion to organise my research and my prep for all the different stages. I know that it differs from firm to firm, but I hope this...- Newborntrainee

International student/Paralegal - Ask me anything
In relation to fees, luckily, I had the help of my family who paid for most of my postgraduate degrees. I started the LPC and GDL before Brexit so was eligible to pay "only" home fees as opposed to international fees (which you now have to pay if you are European). I was also eligible to the...- Newborntrainee

Bad A Levels - will this stop me obtaining a Training Contract
Hey! I didn't have the highest grades (though I am an international student, so there are slight adjustments). I think I had 11.89/20, or less than 60% for my A levels overall, and my LLB was at around 65% equivalent overall. I also had just under 60% on my LLM and GDL (which I studied...- Newborntrainee

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi Jessica! Apologies for asking a very specific question but I hope it does help others in the same situation. How do you think a paralegal can best reflect his/her skills in the application process? And how much do you think paralegal experience is valued for a TC? Thanks a lot!- Newborntrainee

The Hunt for a Training Contract: Take Three
