"But unlike the solicitor profession, which has warned against removing the need for a degree-level qualification for new entrants to the law, the consumer panel said the SRA should refrain from mandating that all solicitors should be graduates. It said this would exclude those who come into the profession later in life, who might not hold a degree but had years of experience."

I don't agree with this as I am one of those who came into the profession late although I had a first degree before embarking on the CPE & the LPC, both part-time, whilst caring for two small children and working part-time. I used career development loans to finance legal studies, completed at age 40. How much flexibility do they want?
