The Legal Services Board's (LSB) proposed statutory overhaul of solicitors' training has been condemned by the City of London Law Society (CLLS) as 'deeply flawed'.
In September, the LSB published a consultation paper outlining statutory guidance for the implementation of the Legal Education and Training Review (LETR), which was published in June.
The LETR represented a full examination of training and education amid changes in the legal services market. Recommendations in the report included the establishment of professional standards for internships and work experience, wider non-graduate pathways into law, and a sharper focus on commercial awareness in the Legal Practice Course in light of new market developments such as alternative business structures.
