[QUOTE="lawstudent15, post: 143963, member: 21724"] Hi! I am a law student at a Russell Group uni, 2:1 predicted and I just completed a year abroad (Im starting the 4th and final year of my degree this autumn). Unfortunately, I was unable to secure a vacation scheme this summer, which would have been ideal since I would have still been a penultimate student. I was able to secure a role as a part-time intern at a foreign law firm (it is remote work), and a week of unpaid work experience in London this summer. I haven't had any formal legal work experience, besides from doing pro bono work during the last three years of my degree + some open days. My question is - what is the best course of action now? I can see that some firms still have their TC windows open for 2025 intake, but would it not be better to try to secure a vacation scheme during my final year at university (preferably a Winter vac scheme) after I more legal work experience under my belt, and to then try to have a go at TC applications? Thanks for any responses. [/QUOTE]
