I believe those with offers/ ACs already are people who have done things with the firm. Direct TC applicants will be considered after those people are dealt with!- Law2022

No, I didn't receive a score for the WG part. Yes, I'm really not sure how much weight they put on the test. Or if your application is great, but your test score is slighter lower, if they still progress you for example. Good luck to you anyway :)- Law2022

I would say so! I submitted a successful application to NRF for direct TC and the only 'legal' work experience I have completed was online. An internship, insidesherpa etc but no formal vac scheme or solicitor shadowing for example. However, I think if you have non-legal work experience and...- Law2022
