Qualifications, the law and training contracts – is it all worth it?

Are you a student looking for a training contract? Working as a paralegal for minimum wage with no end in sight? You may want to read on…

The Numbers

In 2014, 5514 trainee solicitors were registered.
In the 2012/2013 academic year 6171 students completed their Legal Practice Course (LPC).
Working on this year’s figures, this leaves a deficit of 657 legally qualified individuals with no training contract.
Every year hundreds of LPC graduates join the search for training contacts. These join the hundreds, if not thousands that are still looking for training contracts from previous years.
