.... but not necessarily spelling.

I have worked with a number of Legal Execs and they were all good, solid lawyers with very specific product knowledge. I think the issue - if any - was breadth of experience including things like accounts, taxation, etc. Also I think a number of people are forgetting that serving long articles as a clerk was the alternative way into the profession back in the day and I don't see this proposal as substantially different. So all that is really being proposed is re-introducing a bit of our lost culture.
I do however fail to see the point. There are more qualified university law graduates than we know what to do with and Legal Execs fulfil the function of the second tier well where required to do so. What is the point of this?
