[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 117012, member: 2672"] You can apply now if you want to but my personal advice would be to wait and put your energies into applying once you have your final degree and third-year results. Some firms won't let you reapply - so if you do apply to them this summer, it is worthwhile checking their policy on reapplying and weighing up your thoughts on whether to apply now or next year. Others state you can't reapply for 12 months, and so that might stop you applying for internships with them in 2022/23 (which is another route to consider). Many firms don't have such policies though, and so you could apply again. It won't look "worse" to apply a second time, but you will need a significant development in your CV (outside of getting your final degree results). I think the aspect of time pressure thinking is something to try and get rid of. Most people come to law at a later stage in life (the average age of a trainee is 27 or 28 years old), so this idea that you have to secure a TC while at uni is a really false narrative that too many people hold on to. There is really no rush to secure a TC - waiting another year or so is not going to be detrimental to your career, [/QUOTE]
