[QUOTE="Charlotte J, post: 189072, member: 38127"] Hi [USER=17473]@WillkieGemma[/USER] I hope you are well and thank you for taking the time to answer questions. I was just wondering how strict law firms adhere to minimum grade requirements when assessing training contract applications. I got ABB at a level and high 2:1 in my undergraduate in law, however only a pass for my LPC, which I self funded and completed in 2022. All of my marks were distinctions or high commendations apart from BLP (my strongest subject) where I failed by 1 mark having gone wrong on the procedure plan out of panic. I retook it and got 71% but this has capped my whole LPC grade at a pass which I am devastated about. I don’t feel that having a very bad day and panic in the exam equals extenuating circumstances but I really don’t believe given my academic history a pass reflects my potential. How can I approach training contract applications to put forward my case in light of this and is there anything you suggest that I say on the application about the above? Thanks again, Charlotte [/QUOTE]
