[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 179065, member: 2672"] I think you have to be careful of assuming regional firms will be looking for lower grades - I know some that are equally (and sometimes more so picky). However, there will be firms of all shapes, locations, and sizes who are less focused on grades - it will just be a case of tracking them down. It might be worthwhile also considering applying to open days or other similar events which will build up your CV/application outside of vacation scheme experiences. You may also want to look at public sector legal departments, as they tend to be much more focused on competencies/skills rather than academics or previous experience. [/QUOTE]
