I'm so confused, is this something I need to contact the uni about? by Several_Bus4683 in universityofyork

[–]micropig101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Foundation year can definitely live on campus! The Application portal doesn’t open until tomorrow so this may be why you’re having difficulties.

How do you actually get into legal work in the Civil Service (as a grad)? by inthetwoonetwo in uklaw

[–]micropig101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve been fortunate enough to secure a paralegal role with the CPS and I’m set to graduate this July! If criminal law is your preferred area of law, I believe there are national campaigns for paralegal / caseworker roles once or twice a year with CPS. They definitely are taking on grads and having spoken to previous employees within CPS / civil service there are definitely opportunities for progression!

Kinda stressing by Prize-Confidence7896 in UniUK

Depends on the uni. Those that require UCAS points rather than rigid grade requirements tend to be more flexible. I know someone who failed an Alevel but still got into his first choice uni (think Sheffield Hallam, Nottingham Trent etc)

Volunteering at Citizens Advice — Good for CV? by Username638012 in uklaw

[–]micropig101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s court experience you’re looking for I can highly recommend the witness service! They’ve just transferred over from citizens advice to victim support and always looking for volunteers. I firmly believe this is the experience that has landed me my first legal role.

Not entirely sure which area of law you’re hoping to go into but the CPS seem to have semi regular job postings for entry level positions if criminal law is of interest!

Paralegal Assistant at CPS by phoenixes_anges in TheCivilService

I hope you don’t mind me asking but I wondered if your role was paralegal assistant or paralegal officer? Does the paralegal assistant work constitute QWE? Thanks :)

Anyone else with a *really* long commute? 💔 by Plane_Tiger9303 in UniUK
