Salary & Benefits

Salary

It is a fact of Civil Service life that different government organisations have different pay scales. This applies to both lawyers and legal trainees in the same way as it applies to all other civil servants.

Currently, 1st year legal trainees’ salary is in the range of £23,250 to £25,575. The second year salary range is £24,850 to £27,350.

Payment of course Fees

The GLS will pay your Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) fees in full provided you have not yet started the course. Where the course has begun, the GLS will pay your fees for the remainder. We cannot make any retrospective payments to candidates who have successfully completed their courses. We have no preference which Law or Bar School you attend. We will also provide you with a grant of about £5,400 – £7,600 for the vocational year.
We are unable to provide funding for the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL).
