Article Abstract:

Law courses at universities have many applicants despite only around 50% of law students eventually become lawyers. Some observers suggest the students are not being fully informed about their chances of getting work. The students often build up very high debts, on average after gaining a law degree and a year on legal practice course (LPC) a student will have debts of around 10,000 pounds sterling. Some observers suggest the law courses should include the degree and LPC within a four year period. Law students who are not white amd middle class will face additional difficulties.
