[QUOTE="InterestInPublicLaw, post: 245309, member: 33798"] From what I mostly hear from early careers from many firms, if a firm has no preference as to which route you apply for, they would strongly suggest you apply for a vac scheme if you don’t have or have limited legal exp. I don’t think that’s the case for you - you have a law degree, legal work experience, and you’re starting a COMMERCIAL Paralegal role soon so it’s all very relevant. I don’t think I’ve ever heard about academics being a factor in deciding which route to apply for. However if you make DTC to firms that take more from vac schemers, I guess it may make sense the overall benchmark for DTC to get past the initial application stage could be higher. [/QUOTE]
