The website www.LawCareers.Net (LC.N) is The Training Contract & Pupillage Handbook's online sister.
The website is the most sophisticated resource available to tomorrow's lawyers today. It is designed to offer a one-stop guide to joining the legal profession,
and is relevant to candidates from their secondary education right up to the day they formally join the legal profession, and beyond. On LC.N you can find vital
information about what it means to be a lawyer, how to go about becoming one, where to apply and much more besides.
The site's key features include comprehensive directories of 1,000 firms, 200 chambers and 100 law course providers, all searchable under a number of
criteria including size, location and type of work. Firms appearing on the site have various levels of exposure, from a basic listing up to a fully
expanded entry including firm details, career spotlight, online brochure and even a video.
Our exhaustive editorial ranges from advice on first steps in the law to career paths and life as a solicitor or barrister. We offer the only extensive
list of application deadlines for training contracts and vacation schemes, not to mention a rolling news service, an online diary to see which firms are
travelling to your area to meet you, and fortnightly features designed to better your knowledge of both the legal profession and its recruitment process.
Two other sections deserve special mention: the Burning Question, which is a weekly Q&A written by a leading firm designed to get you thinking about commercial
issues, and Meet the Recruiter, where we chat to individuals at firms and sets who are at the sharp end of recruitment and who you need to impress.
Launched in 2009, MyLC.N is a customisable area within which you can store information from both LC.N and elsewhere. You can save details of potential employers
and make notes in MyFirms, store links in MyLibrary, refer to your personalised MyTimeline and even use MyMap to show you where your target employers are located.
MyLocker, designed in conjunction with online application system Apply4Law, is a central hub where you can store key information about yourself in order to transfer
it into the application forms of participating firms. And most recently, MySelf was born. Knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses is essential. MySelf is designed as a
practical tool to analyse and record this information and keep track of your general progress towards identifying, acquiring and demonstrating the attributes you need
to succeed. You can read more about these innovations here.
MyLC.N users also receive LC.N Weekly. The free weekly newsletter provides high-quality, relevant information to over 20,000 subscribers. In addition, you can write
to The Oracle - a free service aimed at helping you solve tricky problems relating to the recruitment process - for advice on any aspect of the legal profession.
