I am currently taking the Legal Practice Course and I am wondering whether it was worth it. Although I am extremely determined to qualify as a solicitor, I wonder whether there has been anyone who have finished with a 2:2 and got a training contract with a City firm.

I have yet to meet anyone who’s been in the same boat as me and managed to make it. Most firms require a 2:1 and while I know I have the skills required of a solicitor, will firms give me a chance? Ten or 15 years ago, it was possible – but is it now?
