Bang goes the law degree

It would appear that the dishing out of Law degree's has caught up with the industry, therefore they are doing something about it. Too many people may have 2.1 or higher classifications, which also contributes to the saturated market. Just a shame that current students that have worked hard (with the belief) to attain a Law degree, would benefit them in the workplace. s for handing out degree's with classifications of 2.2 or lower does serve a purpose, it easily identifies those that don't cut the mustard whilst still enabling students to use such to continue ploughing money into LPC courses or Master's, which then ultimately increases the profits of Universities/exam boards, which in some cases have deliberately ensured that students have not achieved a higher degree classification in the first instance via doing more in the exam process to reduce inflated grading. The only winners are the Universities and exam providers, Law Degree's have been a cash cow for years and as such the legal profession has lost faith in the students which hold them, except of course from the prestigious (Toff) universities.
