Updated every Thursday, we bring you all the deadline and competition news you need to know if you’re considering a career in law. Find out who is still recruiting for vac schemes and pupillages this month, and don’t miss out on that all-important 12 January BPTC deadline if you’re heading to the Bar. As if that wasn’t enough, we put together a roundup of stories from the last week which you can use as a conversation starter with law recruiters or to boost your commercial awareness. This week it’s all about where we’d be without the Freedom of Information Act, the hidden workings of the Court of Protection and the law firm that is standing by Oldham Athletic’s decision on Ched Evans.


TARGETjobs Law spoke to Stephanie Hall, a junior barrister at Francis Taylor Building, to find out what the set looks for in a potential pupil. Stephanie told us what sort of experience stands out on the pupillage application form and why it’s important to have a demonstrable interest in the set you’re applying to, but also to make sure that you say something interesting about yourself. Check out our exclusive interview with Stephanie to find out more about the public and environmental areas of practice and how to answer the burning question ‘Why do you want to work in law?’.

That's all from me this week!
Good luck with your job searches!
