The Law Society is considering the introduction of an aptitude test for entry onto the Legal Practice Course (LPC) in an effort to reduce the numbers of students taking the course.
The society has appointed a consultant to investigate the viability of such a test, in one of a number of initiatives discussed at its monthly board meeting last week (8 September).
The proposal is part of an attempt to regulate entry to the profession due to an increasing disparity between the number of LPC graduates and the number of available training contracts.
