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.

We provide extensive networking and work-placement opportunities, including enhanced work experience via our Solicitor Mentor Scheme.
