Really depends on the size of the firm I suppose. With 0 to 3 years experience around €24,000.00 a year. The larger firms in Dublin pay more but if youre renting in Dublin factor all the extra living expenses into consideration.

Try and pass your exams and qualify, legal admin is hard work, poor pay and little recognition I find. A good secretary is worth their weight in gold but rarely appreciated.

What’s the average trainee salary in 2019? Does it go down while you’re in blackhall?

Does anyone have experience with those notes and sample answers floating around on the Adverts site? I’m thinking 10 euro might be worth it for sample answers?

Has anyone heard of anybody passing 3 if they only sit 3, first time round. I’m hearing that the results go in front of a board and it doesn’t look good if you only sit 3!

Sat four myself but there's definitely a few heads on here that have sat 3 and passed 3 first time.

As in they punish you for only sitting 3? That sounds silly to me.

I would not recommended anyone sit three because you can always get a rouge paper.However, I don't think you will be punished for just sitting three.

I sat only 3 in my first sitting and got all 3. It shouldn't matter how many you sit.

Best of luck!

Anyone have advice for sitting one exam. Got seven of the eight have one left just wondering what people think is needed time wise. How many months before would you give yourself and what would be the minimum time each day. It is a subject I have already done and I am more used to doing four at a time. basically looking for time management advice when studying in for one exam.

Worth starting as early as you can to cover as much of the course. Depends on the subject though really, as some have shorter curriculums than others.

From what I've heard either 3 May or 10 May. We're due to get an email a week before they get published.

I'm sure if you call the Law Society they will give you the date... for a fee.

I just called the Law Society and spoke to Fiona the exam administrator. She said the results will be out next Friday, May 3rd! She seemed pretty definite about that so barring any technical difficulties it will be then!

Gunslinger92

Thanks for that!

Has anyone received an email to that effect yet? I don't want to request the day off before getting the email :pac:

Not yet, but last sitting the email didn’t come till about 3/4pm.

I got an email this morning to say the provisional results date is the 3rd of May. Fingers crossed for no technical issues this time around!

Leraf

Got the email just now.


I will have an actual breakdown if the same issues as last time arise. It was hours before i could sign in. Disaster

We will know the timetable for the next sitting on Friday. It takes place at the beginning of October.
For your first sitting, I would recommend Contract,Property, Equity and Criminal.

Would agree with all of these besides equity - typically many students find this the hardest, and by far has the highest fail rate. With your first three there is that concern of course to get the 'magic three' and so I wouldn't include it in my first sitting. I'd probably say Constitutional, but that's a personal preference as I quite enjoyed it and felt it was quite fundamental in understanding other subjects.

Jimdtug1

Where do you find the pass rates for each subject?

Hey does anyone have that Constitutional book for sale? What's it called again?
