That last comment was perhaps a little harsh. I agree that the law schools should be a bit more open and honest about the statistical likelihood of applicants obtaining a training contract, but I think Damm Dobbs was referring to graduates who had already passed through the system and were unable to obtain a training contract - I agree that being a paralegal is not a fulfilling, rewarding career for every person who has worked and paid for the LPC, but it can give useful experience and on admittedly rare occasions be a foot in the door to a training contract. It is, at least, related to legal practice, which is what law firms look for in applicants' prior experience. And I thought that the rest of Dame Dobbs' advice was pretty sound too.
