[QUOTE="Aspiring.lawyer.to.be, post: 22007, member: 3931"] Hi guys, I’m just helping a friend of mine. He studied the LPC in September 2018 at Ulaw. He managed to pass all his subjects at 1st attempt with distinctions. Unfortunately, he failed two of his elective modules. During those exams he went through a lot due to funeral/bereavement. However, he still pushed himself and sat those elective exams. He managed to barely pass all the other electives but failed two of them. It’s now Feb and he had been going through depression and not wanting to speak to anyone about it. He sought medical help and GP advised him to go for counselling. He tried self-referral counselling but it didn’t help his depression. The next resit for the electives is in June 2020. I thought he should submit a concession application to Ulaw. The concession application requires a medical opinion to state restrospectively as whether or not he was incapable of sitting the exam. Also - he would need to submit a reason for the delay in submitting the concession application. I thought we can also submit the death certificate to prove the bereavement. My friend has finally decided to listen to me and seek medical help again. I thought i should share his story here to see if i can may be motivate you guys or may be gain some advice if you think this is possible? Whether anyone has submitted concession applications to ulaw in the past? If the concession application is rejected, do you think law firms would accept this situation as a mitigating circumstances? There is always this worry/fear that the overall LPC will be capped at a pass if you don’t pass ALL your subjects at first attempt. (Especially at ULaw - i don’t know about any other providers) [/QUOTE]
