Law schools: Spoilt for choice

The "full time" LPC can be as little as 8 hours of tuition a week; certainly no more than 15h/w. There is way too much slack, specially for students up to their ears in debt and in a hurry to start work. It's not a particularly intellectually demanding course either, so it's not like students need lots of time to revise every week. The LPC could easily be completed in a much shorter time, or even in the evenings over one year. I think the CoL's reluctance to introduce a fast-track version is that the providers suspect that at some point people will start questioning whether these courses are really worth £10-£12K. They aren't.
