Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi @Jessica Booker - I have recently accepted a TC offer and I was wondering if it would seem strange to ask for feedback on my AC/final interview? Would this be a really odd thing to do? I would just really like to know what the firm thinks I can improve on given I’ll be training there! Thanks!- lisa0410

I think they do it in batches. I had my partner interview this time last year and people were still being invited to do VIs and case studies for at least a couple of months after. So I would sit tight! Hope that helps!- lisa0410

LPC guide
Hi everyone! Really random question... Does anyone who is or has studied the LPC at ULaw have a soft copy of the Real Estate module guide? I need to submit a copy of it to an exam board in Hong Kong and I can't find it anywhere on my laptop or on ELITE. Would be so so grateful if anyone has it...- lisa0410

Unless they have changed the format then there's no need. That was one of my favourite things about it - having to only do the case study on one day and the partner interview on a separate one made it far less stressful. Good luck!!- lisa0410

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Hi! I did the case study last year. You don't need any legal knowledge AT ALL. It's very much an assessment of how commercially minded you are and whether you can pick up on potential commercial issues that businesses might face / have to think about. It might sound weird but I genuinely really...- lisa0410

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
Hi everyone, I know that Ashurst's vac scheme recruitment is non-rolling but does anyone know whether it's the same for direct TC applications? I assume it's the same policy but wanted to see if anyone knew for sure because they don't actually specify on the website re direct TCs- lisa0410

How hard is it to pass the LPC?
You are absolutely right - the application of the law to the facts is what gets you the marks but I personally found that the legacy notes were like cheat sheets of what facts to pick out and apply! What I found during the course was that the material was all OK and the workshops were very...- lisa0410

How hard is it to pass the LPC?
I finished the LPC with ULaw in June and did all of the elective exams online. If you are really stressed and worried, my biggest piece of advice would be to buy legacy notes for all of the CPAs and electives. You can get them on eBay - they range in price but are worth every penny. They were an...- lisa0410
