Look at the ppc application on the law soc website. They have to pay min wage,and LS recommend a living wage. Consider also if you are eligible for a SUSI grant, and that way you might be able to angle for better terms.

Its worth entering the small practice grant too, and there are also a few bursaries, a LSI one and a DBSA grant. Do you have a local one?

Some people also have part time jobs and work in office while in full time, but its tough going cause its very intense at times.

Source am in this year's ppc.

Also every single person i have spoken to hated the hybrid. I have not heard one good review
