It is not too late to apply for a Spring or Summer Work Placement Scheme although the closing dates are now coming up fast!
If your goal is to secure a training contract at some stage after your Law degree and you are currently in your second or final year, you might like to apply for Work Placements or, to use their more common name, Vac schemes. Some firms recruit their trainees solely from successful participants in their Vac schemes, so it really is worthwhile to apply.
The larger commercial law firms have opened their spring and summer Work Placement schemes for applications. Most of the closing dates are mid to end of January or February 2016 although some firms will offer places before the deadlines so it can be worthwhile to apply early.
What's even better is that as well as a Work Placement looking good on your CV, you also get paid, usually between £250 and £350 per week!
For details of firms offering Work Placements and closing dates see:

Good luck with your applications!
