    Has anyone done the corporate finance or commercial law & IP elective on the LPC at BPP? I am trying to decide between the two at the moment. If anyone has any insight into either elective, I'd really appreciate it:)

    I am so in shock but I have just received a TC offer from DAC Beachcroft! This forum is honestly amazing and has given me so much encouragement on days where I have doubted whether commercial law even is for me or not, so I just wanted to say thank you everyone for being supportive, it really...

    This video (only 6 mins long) from DLA Piper discusses how the removal of employment tribunal fees has led to an increase in employment class actions, and the impact this will have on future claims. I have never really been particularly drawn to employment law but I found this video really...

    Hahaha yeah neither I don’t know much about these things, yeah that’s true that’s an option I could take.

    The T&C's state that if I cancel my place after acceptance, on or after the 1st September 2020, then I would have to pay the first term fees in full along with the deposit as well:(

    Hi Jessica, I am doing a vac scheme that ends on the 28th August. I could potentially be starting the LPC on the 7th September at BPP if I were to receive a TC offer from the firm after the vac scheme. I have another offer from ULaw (where I would preferably go if I do not get a TC offer)...

    I am finishing the GDL in a couple of months but have not yet managed to secure a TC. I am hesitant about starting the LPC in September because I don't have a TC, so I am looking to potentially paralegal/intern for the next academic year. Does anyone have any advice about applying for...

    I have just logged in to check, but the portal hasn't updated since I received the WG invite in January. I cannot find a specific grad rec number on the firm's website. Would it be better to call the main office and ask if I could be put through to grad rec?

    Hi Jessica, I haven't heard back from a firm after doing a WG test like almost over 2 months ago. I have emailed the grad rec team but I have had no response. What would you say is the best thing to do next?
