Hi Jessica,
If I got rejected from a VS application before the AC, am I still able to apply for the straight TC in the same year? Or do I have to wait until next year again?
Thanks!
I feel this! It's okay to take a little break and come back even stronger. There are still a lot of firms that have later deadlines in Feb/March so try looking out for those! You got this! :)
Hi,
Can anyone suggest how to go about answering these questions? I've mostly worked on applications that have strengths based questions rather than legal/commercial awareness.

Applying to Trowers & Hamlins and stuck on the "Who are our main competitors and specifically demonstrate how we differentiate from the firms you name" question. Any tips/suggestions on how to answer this question would be extremely appreciated!! :)
Thank you! Yeah, they gave the test after the written application so I'm happy about that. I do agree, I wish firms such as Linklaters, if they care more about the psychometric test to either cut out the written application altogether or only let applicants hand in the written application after...
Rejected from Pinsent Masons post psychometric test. They were my #1 firm for a while, and I'm kind of frustrated/upset with firms using psychometric tests to cut applicants out. I personally think it's unfair because it doesn't reflect true qualities of what a good solicitor is/could be. Any...
I tried to start a conversation but it says your profile is limited so I can't! I do want to ask you further questions, so please message me :) Thank you again for the words of encouragement.
I always tend to compare myself to others, especially my friends who are also in law and in the same boat. It's hard being supportive and happy for others, while I haven't even gotten invited to an AC yet for any firm I've applied to. However, you reminded me of changing my mindset and...
Yes! I completed it today. It was mostly situational judgment questions. Practising the practice question they provided in the briefing document is really helpful.
Hi!
I just got an invitation to complete the online test. Do you recommend doing practice Watson Glaser tests first before completing the actual test?
If so, then which tests or resources would you suggest?
Thanks!
Hi @Abstruser,
What do you think made you stand out or have more of an edge during the written application stage? I'm having difficulty getting to the interview stage and would love any suggestions on how to answer the questions. Also as an international, non-EU student I would appreciate any...
As recruitment season is approaching, I was wondering about the sorts of questions I should be asking to Recruiters/Lawyers.
What are some of examples of questions that helped you decide on what firms to apply to for training contracts? What type of questions do you recommend regarding the...
Hi,
A few weeks ago I reviewed the lawcareers.net website to see when firms are closing their training contract deadline. I chose to look into EMW Law for a 2021 TC application, but when I recently went back to confirm the deadline the firm is no longer posted there anymore.
EMW Law's website...
Thank you so much for the reply Jaysen!
I obtained an equivalent 2:1 in my undergraduate degree from Canada and obtained a 2:1 after my first year of the LLB for Graduates program. In terms of work experience, I gained experience at a UK law firm in June, joined the Pro Bono group for next...
Hi,
I am currently going into my second year at the University of Birmingham of the LLB for Graduates program (2 years instead of 3 years to get a law degree), as I already have an undergraduate degree. I'm also an international student from Canada looking to start my career as a solicitor in...
