[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 209944, member: 2672"] I would speak to the firm about this - unfortunately our community won't know the answer to this, only the firm will. If you are able to start earlier, it may also be the case that the firm has earlier intakes, so it is worthwhile speaking to them and stating an interest in starting earlier if that is something you want to do. If you did have a year out, I would do anything YOU want to do. It is not important to paralegal or prepare for the SQE before you start the course or your TC. Getting a whole year to do something you want to do is going to be much more difficult after you have started your legal career than it will be now. Many lawyers will tell you to go and do something you want to do rather than something for the career, whether that be travelling, volunteering, working in another industry, further study. You can paralegal if you want to, but its definitely not necessary for your future career. [/QUOTE]
