Yes - everyone will hear back this evening (10th October).When are we expected to hear back for the TCLA 2022/23 Scholarship? Was it this week?
There are a lot of variables to take into account to give you any clear indication of this, but ultimately it will depend on the practice area you qualify into, the typical clients (and size/complexity of the matters you deal with), the demand/supply in the market at the time, and the firm you are working at and also looking to move to.Does anyone have any information on whether it is easy to lateral into the city from a regional firm upon qualification?
Put you are a future trainee on your LinkedIn profile and set your settings to “open to work” and you’ll be contacted by some recruiters.Hi there - I am looking for general advice with regards to finding shorter-term paralegal work (3 month FTC/Temporary work).
I am a training contract offer holder and I am due to start my TC in February 2024. However, prior to this, I will be starting the SQE in March 2023. I am, therefore, interested in paralegal work up until the end of Feb 2023.
I have been in touch with a number of recruitment agencies (incl. flex legal, Ryder Reid, Law Support, LOD etc), however, it has been relatively quiet so far.
I have been looking for over a month and I am keen to make these months as productive as possible - I was wondering if anyone had any specific advice or if anyone could recommend any specific recruiters they have had good experiences with?
Thank you in advance 😊

It will depend on the firm - some explicitly state it should be no longer than a page or a certain word count.Hi,
Quick question about VS applications. I made my cover letter a bit longer than a page on some but have also included addresses at dates at the top. will this hinder my application at all?

You should just list your grades as a pass (this is quite common so I wouldn’t worry about it). You can always explain on a extra information section that your year abroad is not formally grades and only works on a pass/fail basis.Does anyone who did exams during a year abroad know the right approach to the grade section of application forms?
For context, I did do exams but my official transcript just says something along the lines of ‘compulsory year abroad credits - pass’.
For my third year (when I did my year abroad), my student record says ‘this course has been disregarded for award or progression calculations’. There is no indication of my grades anywhere. When filling out application forms, should I just put exactly what’s on my official transcript? I am worried that law firms could think I am trying to hide something.
