Vacation Schemes for second year law (on four year course)

I think you’ll be able to apply for first year insight schemes when you’re in your second year of a four year course!

Hopefully someone else can respond and double check. But it’s best practice to make a list of firms you are interested in. Then check you meet the requirements to apply for their first year scheme before filling the application in.
 
Hi, I am on a four year law course with a year abroad and am wondering which firms I can apply to for vacation schemes when in my second year?
Hi! I have the same question - if anyone knows anymore info that would be great!

So far I only know Slaughter & May accepts second-year students on a four-year course for their Easter and Summer vac schemes.
