[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 126831, member: 2672"] LPC candidates generally did their studies before they started their employment/training contract. The vast majority were not employed as trainees whilst they were studying. They would have received a maintenance grant though to help them with their living costs - for instance, Dentons would provide you with a grant whilst you studied for the SQE course that would mean you wouldn't have to work full-time. I don't know of any bloggers, unfortunately (I am not really active in this space) but I suspect their numbers are relatively low anyway. Only 700 or so people sat SQE2 in April 2022 and I suspect a very small proportion of those were people with an LPC exemption. I think you have to be mindful of "other" legal jobs and ensuring they still set you up for the same career as a training contract. Qualifying as a lawyer is really just a tick box process to ensure their are regulatory standards adhered to. What really sets you up for a career is the exposure to the work you do, and that is why training contracts will still be the best route for most people. [/QUOTE]
