Seeing red: The Training Contract & Pupillage Handbook 2016 is out

Weighing in at around 700 pages of useful information, this year’s edition of The Training Contract & Pupillage Handbook (TCPH) is finally here, resplendent in eye-catching red. This essential resource is the first place you should turn to for help and should be your guide as you search for the legal career that is right for you.

Once again, we have interviewed dozens of practitioners to give you a clear picture of their areas of expertise and sourced advice and views from the best graduate recruiters in the business. "Insider reports" offer you first-hand accounts of what vacation schemes are like. There is also crucial detail on interview and application techniques, alternative career options and work experience.

Copies will be handed out at university careers services and law faculties over the next few weeks, and by the LC.N team at a variety of law fairs. You can also purchase the handbook online from Friday 16 October at www.tcph.co.uk.

Make a trip to your law faculty, careers service or law fair and secure your copy. And remember - TCPH is best used in tandem with the various facilities available on LawCareers.Net. So familiarise yourself with the Jobs page and training contract search, and sign up for MyLC.N, which allows you to manage your firm applications online.
