What I don't like is that people pay thousands to do the LPC course, the providers make lots of money out of them, and then those young people are thrown onto a legal "paralegal" scrap heap as they cannot get articles so get saddled with debt but cannot move forward with their careers. It is intellectually debunked to assert that only those with degrees have sufficient brains to be a solicitor, as that is manifestly note the case and plenty of successful solicitors came the old fashioned root. So limit entry into the profession by difficult exams, but be flexible about how people can get to the stage of taking those exams in the first place!
