How to use this board during law school or exam prep

1. Match route

Start with country and category, then check whether the role is a vacation scheme, training contract, pupillage, clerkship, internship, paralegal role, or post-qualification job.

2. Build evidence

Save examples for grades, writing, mooting, clinics, pro bono, research, commercial awareness, client service, and any practice-area projects.

3. Calendar deadlines

Make a spreadsheet with opening dates, closing dates, interview windows, assessment centres, exam periods, and visa or qualification milestones.

4. Verify salary and eligibility

Use salary guides as benchmarks only, then check employer pages for current pay, sponsorship, office eligibility, and whether the role counts toward qualification.

Salary guide sources

United States large law firms

$200,000 median overall; $215,000 median at 700+ lawyer firms; $225,000 common in top markets

Use this for U.S. BigLaw and national-firm rows. The market is bimodal, so smaller firms and public-interest employers can be far below large-firm medians.

NALP 2025 Associate Salary Survey bulletin

United States general legal market

Lawyers: $151,160 median annual pay; paralegals/legal assistants: $61,010 median annual pay

Best for government, public-interest, smaller-firm, paralegal, compliance, and legal operations benchmarking where firm-specific salary scales are not public.

England and Wales Bar

Minimum pupillage awards vary by year and London/outside London status; 2026 outside-London minimum listed at GBP23,504

Commercial sets often pay much more than the minimum; criminal/family/public sets may publish different awards and hardship funding.

Bar Council funding and scholarships

Public interest, NGOs, international organisations

Highly variable; compare employer scales, duty station, fellowship funding, and local cost of living

For students, the key filter is often eligibility, language ability, funding, visa status, and whether the role counts toward qualification or supervised practice.
