    Hi Folks, is it safe to assume most of the larger firms will follow ALG in not conducting a trainee 'milkround' recruitment process this year?

    A&L is the only one not doing it that I’ve seen so far!

    Ahhh passed EU but got 46 in Tort. Not sure whether it’s worth the appeal or not as I was not confident at all leaving the exam hall, 46 was probably generous as it is.

    Ask for a copy of your script and then see if it’s worth an appeal

    Starting to think ALG deciding not to hold Milkrounds might have less to do with COVID and more to do with the fact that their trainee intake is already full for the next few years - like WF.

    Hello everyone! Well done to those who passed and commiserations to those who didn’t! I’m just starting studying for the next sitting and would be grateful if anyone could share any tips or material they used! I’m just straight out of college and sitting these first time so anything will be really helpful

    I was under her impression they still accept rechecks after the deadline in that situation

    Hey everyone,

    I hope your study is going well in spite of the disruptions.

    Would anyone have a Constitutional grid? I can swap Tort, Criminal, EU grids.

    Thanks

    I have an exam grid up to & including October 2019 & a copy of the March 2020 exam, if that's any good?

    Would the following topics be enough for 5Qs for Contract?

    - Offer & Acceptance
    - Consideration & Promissory Estoppel
    - Terms of a Contract (Implied & Express)
    - Consumer Protection
    - Mistake
    - Remedies
    - Misrepresentation

    Most likely depends on the paper on the day. But you need to add exclusion clauses to the list. Contract is one of those subjects where the advice is not to cut because the paper can be so mixed. Last paper had no question on agreement. On first glance it does appear to be quite short. (Just opinion though you could get lucky)

    Passed contract by the skin of my teeth. I found that covering everything got me the pass. Everything relates to everything so I would go in limiting yourself :)

    Yeah, it just says "There appears to be no results for you - if this is an error please email fe1section@lawsociety.ie and include your ID number."

    Have contacted the Law Society but gotten nothing back.

    Does anyone know how receptive the Law Society are to late applications for a subject? I’m tempted to take on an additional subject for November, due to the added time we have now, but I won’t really know how I’m fixed timewise until after the application deadline of the 30th
    I also presume if you register on time you can’t just get a refund if you decide against sitting a subject. Cheers

    I don’t think they’ll accept any late registrations due to the current circumstances - they need to know the exact number of candidates in advance so they can organize venues and social distancing

    I think you can get a refund but you don’t get the full amount back ( they take an admin fee) but it’s only under certain circumstances

    As a bunch of you went for Judicial Assistant (EO grade), did anyone hear anything back from Legal Researchers (AO grade). Many depts wanted to draw from it, AGs, Oireachtas Services & WRC I recall were listed - it was advertised on publicjobs.ie.

    Haven't got a PFO yet, was wondering anyone else had applied, and if so, had heard anything?

    Happens to me too pretty often, usually works if I close the window and try again or log in through google incognito.

    63% in Tort - much lower than my undergraduate marks but I'm not sure if that's a fair comparison.
