    Which LPC? BPP or University of Law?

    Hey, I'm currently doing my LPC at ULaw Manchester so I can answer 2 and 3 for you: 2. Depending on your studying mode, if you do full-time like mem you'd have 4 workshops a week.

    He applied mid-December. I do remember him telling me though that there weren't that many people in his AC and the AC was only a half-a-day session. I assume they do several small ACs?
