The website www.LawCareers.Net 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.

LawCareers.Net is relevant to candidates from their secondary education right up to the day they formally join the legal profession, and beyond. On LawCareers.Net 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, trainee profile, 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.

In June 2009, LawCareers.Net launched MyLC.N - an innovative tool for those looking for graduate careers in law. MyLC.N lets users manage their job search by keeping a record of the employers they have researched and notes on their impressions, saving crucial news and feature materials, keeping track of deadlines, and even plotting their target employers in a map! You can read more about MyLC.N here. MyLC.N users also receive LC.N Weekly. The free weekly newsletter provides high-quality, relevant information to over 18,000 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.
