Government Legal Service (GLS) legal trainee scheme opens for applications today

The application process for the 2016 GLS Legal Trainee Scheme (LTS) is now open.

The deadline for completion of the application form and situational judgement test (SJT) is 12pm (noon) on Friday 29 July 2016.

There are 45 trainee solicitor and pupil barrister places being advertised this year and the majority of the places are for 2018.  However, there are some places still available for 2016 and 2017. 

All trainee places will be based in London.

You must have, or be predicted to obtain, a minimum of a 2:2 in an undergraduate degree. This does not have to be in law.
Please see Psychometric tests to practise verbal, numerical and situational judgement tests before you do them as part of the application.

Email careers@chester.ac.uk if you would like your application checking.

The GLS recruits most of its trainees 2 years in advance so you need to be at least  in your second year of a Law degree or the third year of a non-law degree to apply. Graduates can also apply.
