How are you approaching your recheck submission? Are you just sending a separate email to the FE1 section after submitting your recheck application and asking for this to be taken into consideration.

Are firms normally accommodating with regards deferring a training contract a year? I was due to start with my intake at the beginning of May but now that the exams have been pushed back I won’t have my results from the March sitting in time.

Probably depends on the firm but I doubt they'll care. You'll pass your remaining exams in a few weeks and start as normal in September.

Depends on the firm tbh but I’d contact them sooner rather than later. They may let you start without results anyway

Anyone who wants notes (free of charge) just DM me your email address. They’re fairly condensed but they got me through all 8 exams in one year. Various sources, I bought them from some “character” from this forum.

do you think it’s worth getting eoin quills book for tort ? have mcmahon and binchy but i failed by four percent and wondering if i should source his book out ?

so I don't think you need the actual book, but I have heard that he likes people to quote him in the exam and I made sure to put in two of these in my November sitting (which I passed).

It depends on if you will ever need it again after this exam, or if you could sell it on after.

Did you fail in November sitting? would you chance a recheck and get onto the law society and tell them that you want it taken into consideration that the exam did not start on time and it caused so much stress and anxiety attempting to login with no communication from law society. I don't know if you were the ones who were afforded the opportunity to go back and finish the exam later that evening, but if not I would say that too, that you were not given the same consideration as those who were let back into the exam after they had already seen the paper. (just FYI I do not begrudge these people, I am just amazed that they failed anyone in Tort this sitting with the mess that that day was!)

Does anyone know where I could find some tips for training contract applications/cv tips? was fully expecting to fail some exams and take longer to get them done but I've passed all 6 that I've attempted so far and am now starting to panic that I haven't applied for any TC's...

Also what were peoples experiences with securing TC's? My leaving cert was pretty average as was my first year of undergrad (too much going out and no interest in studying ) but the rest of my undergrad and my post grad results are good and I scored really high in a couple of FE1's and I have legal experience. Not sure what firms are looking for and I've heard how competitive it is which is worrying me hahah

Depends where you want to look - Dublin firms are hiring currently but some for the year 2023 or above- I find the big firm applications quite draining haha they ask question like who you admire and your greatest achievement and so on and so on but I’m not 100% sure what they’re looking for in that regard

You could go round your local area of not from Dublin and see if they’d have any interest in training you !

The law society have pieces up on their website giving tips on how to get a training contract and hey provide sample cover letters and cv templates

Keep an eye out on the legal vacancies page smaller firms do advertise their training contracts there and there does be a few going round

Does anyone have case note grid past March 2018, and/or exams? Trying to pile them together to attempt the case note Q in the event I'm stuck for a 5th on the exam.

With that said, I have up to March 2018 grid of case notes if anyone needs it in the meantime.
