I took the LPC 10 years ago. Is it too late to train as a solicitor?
Will the SQE assist someone of Black, Asian or minority ethnic background who took the LPC 10 years ago still searching for a training contract, or is it too late to pursue a career as a solicitor? The LPC is where students learn to apply the law and as such is often known as the vocational stage of solicitor training. Following completion of the LPC, students are required to work for a period of two years as a trainee solicitor, which is commonly known as a training contract.
Once the training contract has been completed, students then apply to the Solicitors Regulation Authority to be admitted as a solicitor. Applicants must have an undergraduate degree, or equivalent experience, and whilst a law degree will give applicants a strong foundation in legal knowledge, thus helping with SQE study, it will no longer be a formal requirement. Students achieve an undergraduate degree or equivalent, such as a degree level apprenticeship. Whilst a degree in law will of course be very beneficial for SQE study, it will no longer be compulsory.
This stage will mainly assess legal knowledge through a series of multiple-choice questions MCQs. This can be gained with up to four different legal employers and could include appropriate pro bono experience.
Importantly, the experience could be gained during, before, or after the SQE assessments themselves, however it is anticipated that students will have completed SQE1 before the majority of their QWE. At this stage the SRA will complete quality and suitability checks to determine whether students are eligible to become solicitors, as opposed to the current process where these checks are carried out at training contract stage.
The SRA has proposed a transition period of eleven years from when the SQE starts, meaning that if the changes roll out as planned in , students who have already started on the current route will in theory have until to continue to qualification.
Once the SQE does launch, anyone who wants to switch to the new route but began studying before the changes will be free to do so, meaning they can wait to see what the changes look like before making a decision. Based on what we know so far from what has been released by the SRA, SQE1 will be a series of multiple-choice assessments.
