Law Soc calls for LPC entrance test

The problem, and the reason why many people do not get training contracts is NOT because of their ability. There are plenty of people with ABA and a strong 2:1 at Law schools, who still cannot get a training contract and there are also many bright candidates who just do not understand the application process- how to complete a solid application, interview technique, where to look for work experience opportunities and even some students who lack the positive and ambitious attitutde needed to secure a training contract. Restricting the LPC so that only those 'bright' enough are eligible for a study place will NOT remove the problem of too many applicants v training contracts available. The pass rate of the LPC is pretty high, meaning that most people who take it actually pass anyway!
