    LPC or SQE?

    I would do the LPC. You could do it as LLM and get a government loan and although it is a demanding course it is possible to do it alongside a part-time job. Several in my cohort had paralegal jobs, others worked in bars. I did a small amount of self-employed work from my previous career. The...

    How badly does the advocacy assessment have to go for you to fail?(Ulaw)

    AvniD, love your response to this thread. Hrb_pg, I see what you mean regarding recording. It is an easier experience, yes. However the standard is a bit higher in the sense that we submit on average more polished submissions... as we all record them several times until pressing send! So, the...

    How badly does the advocacy assessment have to go for you to fail?(Ulaw)

    The standard is not lower at BPP I don't think. In fact I have a close friend who gave wrong legal advice in the I&A assessment at Ulaw (was prompted by the actor "are you sure?") And still passed. The skills are on a competent (50 or above)/non competent basis, and what you have to do to get...

    How badly does the advocacy assessment have to go for you to fail?(Ulaw)

    If LPC, I'm sure you passed if you addressed the issues and covered your basics, which you did. I wouldn't be able to say for BPTC other than the standard is much higher there.

    Hi, I'm far more inexperienced than you, as I'm just a "future trainee". However, I'm a career changer (mid thirties) and my comment is concerning the worklife balance and life style choices in general In my view the attrition rate in US firms is so large as to make the move completely...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    There are 15 tick boxes but some are just slides which you can see in the lectures themselves. There are 1intro lecture and 2 main lectures which are split into parts. About 3 h in total. The lectures follow the chapters closely. So it is up to you, I guess, whether to only read the chapters, or...
