The closing date for applications is the 31st July 2008. If you’re a law student, you should apply at the end of your penultimate year, usually by the end of July in that same year.

For those who have not completed a placement programme, interviews are held in August/September just before the beginning of your final year. The pre-interview process is lengthy so applications received after the deadline cannot be accepted.

If you’re a non-law student you should apply as early as possible in your final year. You can do this before or after you receive tour results. Interviews start early in the calendar year; make sure you apply as soon as possible. This also applies to you if you have already graduated from a law or non-law degree, or are currently working and looking to change career.
