Headline

The pointlessness of a law degree

Comment

Some of my (trainee) colleagues genuinel believe an extrapolation of this article: that their GDL+LPC= LLB. I can only believe that this is because it has been so well marketed to them. The debate over law v non- law will rage as long as it is an option (and it should remain an option: some of the brightest lawyers I know are non-law graduates, equally, some are law graduates). If someone has the requisite skills to be a good lawyer it doesn't matter what degree they do. However, to allow a 3 year specialist degree to be devalued (law is harder than most BA degrees) so that institutions like CoL and BPP can handle out additional qualifications is insulting to those who slaved away for 3 years to get an LLB.
