Many students would stand better chances of securing Vacation Placements and Training Contracts if they knew what was expected of them. For applications to law firms, there is often too little support, information or encouragement available. The writers hope Training Contract Winners goes some way to filling this vacuum. The competition for places at law firms is fierce and students need all the help they can get.

Without a Training Contract, students have to fund the Legal Practice Course and/or Common Practice Examination themselves. With living expenses, this can add up to debts amounting to several thousand pounds. This is before adding on students' loans taken out during studies. The writers of Training Contract Winners want to help students be successful in their applications for Training Contracts.
