The Oracle

Consult the Oracle and you will find enlightenment..... At LawCareers.Net we often receive queries about the processes and options related to joining the legal profession. Some questions arise again and again, while others are fiendishly obscure. Each week we'll showcase one of your more interesting inquiries and provide an informative answer. So if you have a burning question, send it to us at oracle@lawcareers.net. We may well feature it. And don't worry about appearing foolish - we won't print your name!

Letter Of The Week

Heebie-CVs
I'm going to be applying for training contracts this summer but I'm scared that my CV isn't up to scratch. LC.N is a fantastic resource and full of useful advice - can you take a look at my CV?
A Healthy Curiosity
I have a chronic illness for which I take medication but it doesn't affect me on a daily basis. I've seen lots of application forms with the question, "Are you in good health?" Are firms allowed to ask this?
Life in the Fast Lane
Once I qualify, will it be possible to get an NQ job in a corporate department that pays a City salary without sacrificing my life outside work?!
