Universities churn out record numbers of top class LLB students

You cannot win This is an old chestnut, "of course, in my day, we 'ad it tough.." You can't win - certain people say that if more students are getting 2:1s and Firsts this means that exams have become easier, and yet the same people say that it is evidence of declining standards if results get worse. It is, of course, not necessarily the case that if more people pass an exam then the exam must be easier. Do they really think that universities of any description deliberately dumb down their courses to produce dubious graduates? In my experience most universities are at pains to ensure that standards are maintained with external moderation, for example, and in some cases industry review.
