    Government Legal Department Trainee Scheme AC

    Hey! Congrats! It's my first AC as well but I think you should be able to find answers to your questions earlier on this thread. You won't be at a disadvantage not having studied law as they don't award points for legal knowledge! Which day have you booked?

    Government Legal Department Trainee Scheme AC

    I had misread the question, I thought we were talking about the number of TCs available! I would agree with you on the number of applicants at the AC. Many of the GLD paralegals I know were offered a paralegal role instead of a TC as they passed the benchmark but were not in the top bracket.

    Thank you, that's really helpful, I think it may be one of the reasons I haven't converted as many as my VIs as I could have.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi @Jessica Booker, for video interviews I tend to practice with a timer and eventually learn my answers by heart. If the questions are the same as the ones I rehearsed I may sound a bit unnatural or not spontaneous, do you know if this is something that is taken into account when assessing VIs...
