Hi Jessica, Last year I completed a vacation scheme at a MC firm's overseas office. Do you think it will be ok if I apply to the same firm but this time for a vacation scheme in their London office? Will it make more sense to apply for their direct TC instead? Thanks- Lawgrad98

Hi Jessica, My three-month summer scheme in the MoJ has been deferred to next year due to the pandemic. In the meantime, I have been able to secure an administrative role in HMCTS. I was wondering if this role would be considered as relevant experience in my upcoming TC/VS applications? Thanks!- Lawgrad98

Hi Jessica, I've secured a 3 month internship in the MoJ for this summer but it has now been deferred to next year because of the pandemic.
