Trainee Solicitor Support Group

It's available on the ppc1 page of LS website, its way too long to screenshot, its a few a4 pages long

I was talking to one of the ladies today in the LS regarding a different issue, but I asked what stage my app was at and she said it’s been looked at and all they await now is the FE1 results. She said this is the case for most of the applications but didn’t say when they would receive them. I was told they are working remotely so the process is running slower than usual, but when it is finalised we will receive and email with the relevant documents.

Has anyone been looking into accommodation in Dublin for Sept?

I’m holding off paying a deposit on anywhere until it’s 100% confirmed to be in person!

Do we have to pick subjects or anything for PPC1?

Do you pay the fee when submitting your application or can you wait until November to pay it for the hybrid?

In relation to the hybrid has anyone any idea of the work load involved?

Maybe a silly question, but does anyone know what the dress code for Blackhall is? Like business casual?

has there been any indication of when we’re finding out our groups etc

Thanks for the response. Have submitted my application to SUSI now so fingers crossed! That’s so unusual about the Hybrid course, very frustrating

Aye he's a sound lad alright! Hybrid isn't recognized as a full time course for some silly reason because it's online, so it's not eligible for SUSI. But Access will still cover most of it, and Hybrid students are asked to make a contribution of around €700 for PPC1 and €700 for PPC2 if doing them through the Hybrid! Anyone on Access who got sent details etc I believe that was all stated in one of the documents.

As everyone said dont waste your time applying to susi. You could try applying from the bursary for the 700 euro back.

Well lads a few qs,

Who did people use as there references and was it only a few lines they wrote for each ref?

Also do you just send in your original birth cert or must copy it and get it certified?

Will your official college transcript do or does that need to be certified too?

Also do you need a form 2b if your doing the traineeship under a solicitor who also has another trainee starting at the same time?

Thanks in advance.
