KCL students launch petition against law school

I was sad to hear about Kings' plans for reforming the LL.M, in particular making the AQM and negotiation classes (two of the most popular classes on the LL.M) non-credit. The lessons taught during these classes are very valuable to law firms, and indeed the magic circle firm where I trained before taking the LL.M put on similar classes and workshops for their trainees. Since the majority of graduates will seek to work for commercial law firms, it appears to be a short-sighted move by the university, as they are denying their students the opportunity to gain a edge over competitors, in this tough employment market. Further, the action taken may also prove to be shortsighted in relation to donations from recent alumni, who may be prefer to make gifts to alternative alma maters.
