Can I apply to law firms in Edinburgh with an English law degree? @Jessica Booker
Possibly not - the Scottish qualification system is different and you’d need to check what additional qualifications you would need of undertake to complete the Scottish qualification route.

However, I have heard of SQE Scottish TCs and in these instances, as you’d effectively be qualifying as a solicitor of England and Wales, but are based in Scotland, that could be feasible.

This is something I also want to explore, do you have any tips on how to find firms that do SQE TCs in Scotland @Jessica Booker? I have tried to research any such routes without much success, would it be fruitful to email firms individually? Thanks

How long does it usually take for a firm to come back to your with an outcome following a summer vacation scheme? Grad rec said “a few weeks” but trainees at the firm said that people usually hear back within a week 😩

I think it depends - I've had to wait over a month before for a rejection, but it sounds like they'd been deciding that whole time. I've also spoken to people who finished on a Friday and got an offer the next Monday.

    Hello Everyone!

    This is a question for anyone and everyone. While I am embarrassed to admit this, I really need help. I am absolutely hopeless when it comes to numerical reasoning so much so I would rather not apply to a firm who requires them because I know I will fail it. How do I practice these tests? Does anyone have resources or know of where I can finally figure out how to do them. I really want to start now so by the time the next application cycle comes I can confidently attempt them.

    ANY help is seriously appreciated!☺️

    Kind regards,
    Erin
