[QUOTE="Paralegal178, post: 41870, member: 2177"] Hey, I was in a really similar position to you in terms of grades and attending a non RG uni and I’m starting my TC at a magic circle firm in the next couple of months. I would really echo what everyone else has said so far - it will be a little more difficult to secure a TC at a commercial law firm but by no means is it impossible! You’re a first year so really focus on your grades throughout your degree, try and do as well as you possibly can. You’ve got plenty of time! Firms look at all of your grades, including first year, so work hard. Next, bulk up your CV with extra curriculars and/or work experience. Develop and work on interesting hobbies, firms will be super interested in your computer science degree so think about how that will set you apart from other applicants. Work on building up your knowledge of commercial law firms and commercial awareness more generally. Network with law firms to help you decide which firms you want to apply to and to give you solid reasons for pursuing a career in commercial law. Look at law firm (online) events, LegalCheek events, insideSherpa internships etc. I’d also join your uni’s Law society and get involved however you can. You can absolutely do this and don’t listen to those who tell you it’s impossible! [/QUOTE]
