Totally in the same shoes right now. I can’t even sleep at night thinking about what to do with my life as a recent graduate. I’ve experienced every type of law from legal aid to commercial, and I genuinely want to be in this career for the long term. It’s a really scary, demoralising time and...- lawyersum

Love this advice and thanks for sharing. But I can’t help but feel my heart sink on the point about the LPC/SQE. I have completed a law degree but simply cannot afford to self fund the SQE. Putting the burden on my family would also be out of the question. Even a government masters loan would...- lawyersum

Not an expert on this situation but I would defo recommend mentioning your situation to grad rec at your TC firm. Maybe that way you can work out a solution together (e.g they can recommend negotiating with the GDL provider or you can suggest starting the course online for a month in September...- lawyersum

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I think they had so many applications because their process was just the application form with grades and personal info, then the test. No long written answers. And yeah I see where you’re coming from, but all I can think is that if there’s 2000 this cycle, there’ll maybe be 3000, 4000 next year...- lawyersum
