The School of Law is dedicated to enabling its students to become highly effective trainee solicitors through our well respected Legal Practice Course (LPC). This LPC is trusted by the legal profession as a real predictor of your ability to meet the demands of legal practice. It is a practice-based programme - students engage in analysis and application, and workplace simulation, allowing them to develop the skills and competence required for ‘day one’ of legal practice.
As an LPC student, you will join an established professional legal network and continue your professional development with experts across a variety of legal fields.
The LPC has been the prescribed course for graduates wishing to qualify as a solicitor since 1992, over 1300 lawyers have graduated from the LPC at LJMU.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority's introduction of the SQE now changes the route individuals must take to qualify as a solicitor. You can still take the traditional taught LPC here at LJMU, recognised by thousands in the legal profession, to enhance your personal development and your chances of securing employment within a very competitive legal profession.
**Important dates:**
The deadline for full-time applications (made via the central Applications Board) is Friday 18 August 2023. Part-time applications must be made through the LJMU online application form. The deadline for part-time applications is Friday 25 August 2023.
The programme starts on Monday 4 September 2023.
We provide extensive networking and work-placement opportunities, including enhanced work experience via our Solicitor Mentor Scheme. The dissertation element of the course provides the opportunity to enhance your career prospects through acquiring vocationally relevant knowledge. It will enable you to make a significant and measurable contribution to the body of legal knowledge in your chosen subject.

The School of Law is dedicated to enabling its students to become highly effective trainee solicitors through our well respected Legal Practice Course (LPC). As an LPC student, you will join an established professional legal network and continue your professional development with experts across a variety of legal fields. The opportunity to combine the study of legal practice to meet Solicitors Regulation Authority requirements with the creation of a dissertation reflecting extensive research into your chosen area of law will enhance your personal development and your chances of securing employment within a very competitive legal profession.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority is proposing to change the route individuals must take to qualify as a solicitor.
The proposal is to create a new national assessment in two parts, covering elements of the current qualifying law degree (QLD) and the current LPC. That assessment will be implemented nationally in 2020 and will stand alone; students will then have to decide how they will undertake the vast amount of learning required to pass the assessment. Higher Education Institutions and private providers are currently planning how they will develop learning programmes to support the new assessment.
The School of Law has over 25 years’ experience delivering academic and vocational courses in Law, making us ideally placed to deliver high quality learning opportunities aimed at meeting the new assessment criteria.
Our LPC has run since 1994 and more than 1100 of our graduates have embarked on successful careers within the legal profession. Many have joined our established employer network and keep in touch with us via Facebook. When you join our LPC you join an established community of legal professionals.
We provide extensive networking and work-placement opportunities, including enhanced work experience via our Solicitor Mentor Scheme and voluntary legal case work as part of the School of Law's Legal Advice Centre. The dissertation element of the course provides the opportunity to enhance your career prospects through acquiring vocationally relevant knowledge. It will enable you to make a significant and measurable contribution to the body of legal knowledge in your chosen subject.
