Time to ditch the LPC?

Comment

The training contract is the one big barrier to the profession. Until then students have no problems raising finance for their degree and the LPC. Unfortunately they then find that they cannot gain a training position whilst having to start paying back tens of thousands of pounds in career development loans and watching interest accrue on student loans. Many otherwise excellent candidates are permanently lost to the legal profession through lack of training contracts. The Ilex route is an alternative but how many students know of it before being sold the LPC.
