Government Legal Department Trainee Scheme AC
This is very common in public sector. The pass mark tends to be fairly low, but they have to take the top scoring candidates as they have very strict “fairness” requirements, written into law! It is a requirement of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act that selection for recruitment to...- TCLA Community Assistant

I’m not convinced this definitely covers a “legal issue”. Obviously more specific elements of future/remote working plans could have legal implications, but you would need to focus on them rather than talk about it broadly.- TCLA Community Assistant

Competing TC start dates problem - any advice?
If GR are adamant that they can’t promise you anything, then it seems the decision can be simplified down to whether you are willing to start a SQE training contract in September with a firm you prefer over a the firm that can guarantee you a LPC TC in March.- TCLA Community Assistant

Congratulations! Can you not do both and just defer for a year? (Although that might then mean doing the SQE if the firm hasn’t moved to it already for your current intake offer?).- TCLA Community Assistant

Hi @Dwight and @SLKEJRWOI97 You are more than welcome to use this thread as a way of gathering the question information though in a similar way to what Dwight has done above for CMS.

GDL results and TC applications
You have mitigating circumstances which firms will consider, so I don’t think there is an issue here. Even without mitigating circumstances, I think most firms wouldn’t put too much weighting on your GDL grades.- TCLA Community Assistant

It doesn’t tend to happen where recruitment is centralised. One partner doesn’t tend to over influence the process (unless the firm is very small, and there are only a handful of partners). I am not sure what you are asking from for the partner here. You are saying you want their thoughts on...- TCLA Community Assistant

GDL results and TC applications
It’s not that it’s low, it’s that it is failed. Any failed module is particularly challenging, but especially something like a dissertation where you have the opportunity to really influence the content of the dissertation (and have lots of time to complete it) can be more concerning.- TCLA Community Assistant

Check lawcareers.net for who to send it to - they often have the names of people it should be addressed to. Otherwise the recruitment manager responsible for recruiting that role/office will be fine too.- TCLA Community Assistant

GDL results and TC applications
Not an issue at all. Very few firms fixate on GDL grades. You’d have to declare the resits anyway and there is no guarantee you would get stronger results the second time around. The biggest issue here I can see is failing your dissertation. That will be slightly worrying to many firms.- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Most of this will be common sense more than anything but you should keep in mind: - keeping in mind the client will be the priority - that you won’t be expected to be an expert as a trainee - you’ll have to understand your limitations in terms of responsibilities - that you can delegate...- TCLA Community Assistant
