They will have to do something for
Students wishing to start hybrid in 3 weeks.

A 9 week wait for results is ridiculous. Classic law society...

Giving themselves a nice break for the Christmas. Well earned.. Lol

All of those complaining and whining about the Law Society taking 9 weeks to correct the exams when it should take 6 have not simply taken into consideration the couple of weeks of R&R that members of the Law Society need to take after their hard work and dedication to Fe1 candidates this year.

From what I remember from exam time you said you’re still a college student, so fair enough, the timing of results isn’t massively important to you. For a lot of us this is not the case and I myself am under serious pressure to have all 8 passed ASAP and this is just another pressure on my shoulders.

In addition, we are literally paying them to do their job, it is not unreasonable to ask them to mark exams quickly when each student is giving the LS on average €400. And finally, had they been more organised earlier in the year we wouldn’t even be in this situation, and they could’ve had all the R&R they wanted over Christmas.

He was being sarcastic

Hi everyone, posting this again for anyone else interested. My firm - an established criminal and personal injuries firm located in Dublin 1 - is looking to give an extended internship (at least 6 months) starting September/Oct 2020. This would suit a bright graduate interested in gaining daily court experience and advocacy skills (firm works in all courts from District up to Supreme). This is a hands-on role. Review of applications will begin on 17th August.

Send me a message for more details.

Hey, just looking for some guidance on working in criminal law.

Do they take trainees regularly? as the only one that I can see with a dedicated careers section is Michael Stains, giving the impression to me that criminal practices hire when and if they need someone. If that is the case then would it be unusual to train corporate and transition out to criminal? Also if anyone knows a way to make yourself more attractive to criminal practices I would be glad to hear it

Sorry for the piecemeal of questions, I'm transitioning from a different industry myself and only know a handful of people in commercial law never mind criminal. Thanks in advance.

Hey I remembered seeing something a few months back in relation to criminal firm. @Trainee1986 might be able to help or direct you on this. Not in the area myself.
Best of luck

Would anybody have up to date equity/criminal/constitutional grids? Have property and contract to swap

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows when we'll be able to apply for the spring 2021 fe1s?

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all making progress wherever you are.

I am a civil servant and have just started studying for FE1s. Am taking a leisurely outlook in relation to them 1 or 2 subjects at a time as ive a family and am I'm involved in football management. I hope to take criminal in March followed by another subject along with Tort next October. I eventually hope to do the hybrid. I already hold an Arts degree and a masters in public management from IPA. I think this qualification could open doors for me either in my current job or perhaps in the private sector.

Just wondering in relation to the training contact, would I be able to complete it, in a legal unit, or prosecutions unit within my Dept. Id be interested yo hear from Anyone in a similar position to me.

In fairness the the course does not start until January 16th. It is just the induction that we will miss, that will be online so we will catch up. If you have your application in your results are being prioritized.

So it will be more than the induction we miss, it just does not seem fair when realistically the exams could have been done online in October had the Law Society better prepared.

To be fair, you were never guaranteed to have your application accepted after the October exams, never mind the operational issues arising due to Covid. You should be grateful that they're even willing to accept your application in the first place, imo.
