Hi Guys,
Just looking for a bit of advice. Basically, I'm wondering whether its worth me applying for TC's for 2016 intake or to wait until next year;
My Situation is:
Final year non-law student at the University of Glasgow (History)
On track for at least a high 2:1 if not 1st
A*AA at A Level (Politics, History, English Lit)
Good Extra Curricular with good sporting achievements (Won national championship in Boxing and played all levels of football including first XI)
Good non-law work experience ranging from retail (John Lewis, Hollister (grim, I know), Hamleys toys) to Hospitals.
But the worry - absolutely no legal experience whatsoever. I'm hoping to begin shadowing a QC and also spend some time marshalling within the next few weeks but I'm worried that I won't get through the door with no legal experience. I understand I could amass some before 31/07 deadlines, but many non-law deadlines are earlier if not passed in the case of come magic circle firms.
Any advice would be appreciated, unsure where to go from here as I know many firms have a 'once a year application' policy, which I'm unsure would void me for an application this Winter to the 2017 round.
Thanks!
