[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 117591, member: 2672"] 1) There won't be a better one as such - you have to really weigh up what is better for you. However, you can apply for TCs and LLMs as they aren't mutually exclusive. Some people will find that they can attend a VS while paralegalling but for some organisations they won't consider this due to the necessary conflict checks that would need to be in place. It very much depends on your paralegal employer, your VS employer and how closely aligned they are. 2) Yes - plenty of people will secure paralegal roles with no TC and no LPC. I would say having no legal work experience is likely to make it more difficult to secure a paralegal role, although I have seen it happen when people have other work experience in industries related to their paralegal work. 3) Yes - as the visa is with you (you apply for it/pay for it) then you can work as a paralegal. You may want to focus on contract roles though rather than permanent positions, as with a permanent position they could be expecting you to work long-term and therefore not having the right to work after a period of time may not be attractive to them.
