[QUOTE="EEE, post: 12369, member: 2217"] Hi Jessica, Thank you for joining the forum. I am a non-law student (Politics and Spanish) going into my 4th year at Bristol University having just completed a Year Abroad in Chile. Following my graduation next year I plan to undertake the GDL/LPC route, therefore this autumn I will begin applications for vacation schemes in magic circle/city/international firms. However, I do not have much law-related work experience. To date, I have very old law-related experience dating back to secondary school and this summer I have shadowed a variety of solicitors at a Law Centre. My other experience lies in journalism, Spanish/translation work, NGOs/social impact work, and publishing. This is because up until 8 months ago I had not been clear on what career path I wanted to take. I am struggling to obtain more law-related experience without having done any previously. Will I be at a disadvantage when applying to vacation schemes at law firms because of this? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
