    Maybe the LPC with some sort of altered curriculum is what should have been needed (perhaps with the GDL being an optional prep course qualification)

    Will the GSA replace the TC at larger firms then perhaps?

    The pass odds may be higher but it is not something that can be guaranteed, so it creates a risk. I am surprised that law firms aren't working to develop an alternative to BPP/Ulaw as the tuition fees are continuing to rise and both have a rather poor reputation. If not the firms themselves...

    Interesting, I wonder if that puts off law firms from moving to GSAs or if the 95% is sorted regardless

    I think this whole fiasco actually will create a much larger problem of killing off social mobility. If someone can’t or won’t self-fund, having funding vs having funding IF you pass is one hell of a distinction especially if it could lead to serious financial problems. Furthermore, getting a...

    Do we need to know the finance numbers as a banker would for law firms now or is it more just about the basic concepts etc?

    As a bonus point Self-funding prevents you from doing GSA’s which is how most in-house “TC’s” are arranged

    Anyone here with a guide on that as I have no idea if I am passing and I never use semicolons and that sort of thing (Only got a C in English GCSE too! ) As for Setsail, they are just too lazy to make new text so made one and rolled with it.
