Following a Law Society Council vote which took place last Thursday, a three month consultation has been launched into controversial new proposals for the training of lawyers in the United Kingdom.
Under the proposed model, which has caused divisions even amongst the members of the Training Framework Review Group (TFR) which developed it, the requirement for qualified solicitors to complete a legal practice course (LPC) would be ended, as would the obligation for non-law graduates to take a conversion course.
Instead, candidates would only be required to pass an exam approved by the Law Society in order to be eligible for a training contract (although the traditional route of completing an LPC after a law degree would still be open to them).
A final decision on whether to go ahead with the proposed reforms is expected from the Law Society by the end of the year.
