[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 146597, member: 2672"] You may want to consider legal roles in the public sector, such as the GLD or local government. They typically do not have minimum academic criteria and will just assess you against competencies they want to see in candidates. Alternatively you may want to look at alternative routes, such as paralegalling, and then proving your capabilities internally before being asked to be considered for a training contract. If you can afford to do so, you may also want to consider funding the SQE yourself if you feel confident you could pass the assessments. One of the concerns with academics is that there is a very strong correlation between previous academic performance and passing the SQE assessments and therefore firms will feel more assured if you have passed this of your own accord.
