[QUOTE="Las123, post: 33861, member: 380"] Hi JaneX, From my experience of applying last year, the best way to gauge how much legal work exposure graduate recruiters are looking for in direct TC apps is to ask them at open days, insight evenings etc. Some firms encourage applications from all backgrounds and do not place an emphasis on legal work experience per say (A&O, CC, FF are some examples from what I know), some encourage applicants to have had some exposure to legal work like work shadowing, pro-bono etc, while some very clearly have a predominantly via-VS intake. Where this preference is not clear on firms’ websites, asking grad-rec can help you make those direct TC apps to those firms where you have the best chance. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
