The Legal Practice Course (LPC) is a postgraduate legal qualification that is the final academic step for aspiring Solicitors. Once successfully completed, you can go on to a training contract before fully qualifying as a Solicitor. The LPC Online offers you the best possible preparation to practise law with the skills to succeed in business.
​
Important Note from the Solicitors Regulation Authority:
"This is who can qualify as a solicitor through the Legal Practice Course (LPC) route:
-
Has completed the Common Professional Examination/Graduate Diploma in Law (accepted before 1 September 2021).
-
Had accepted an offer for a qualifying law degree (QLD) or exempting law degree (ELD) by 21 September 2021, started the course before 31 December 2021 and have now graduated.
-
Deferred a QLD or ELD offer for the academic year 2020/21 and then started the course by 31 August 2022 (inclusive). Please keep evidence of your deferral to be accepted onto the LPC.
So, if you began a QLD in September 2022 or later, you are not eligible for the transitional arrangements and cannot take the LPC. Your only route to qualification as a Solicitor is through the SQE." Further information is detailed on the SRA Website.
​
When studying the Legal Practice Course, you will engage with two stages:
​
Stage One Modules
Introduction to Professional Practice
- Business Law and Practice Knowledge and Skills
- Dispute Resolution Knowledge and Skills, including Criminal Litigation
- Real Estate Knowledge and Skills
​
Stage Two Electives
- Advanced Criminal Law and Practice*
- Commercial Law & Practice
- Employment Law & Practice
- Family Law & Practice
- Intellectual Property Law & Practice
- Mergers and Acquisitions Law & Practice*
- Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Law & Practice
- Private Client Law & Practice
​
​To receive an LLM in Professional Legal Practice students will study an additional elective module of your choice. All LLM students will also undertake a self-study Professional Practice Research Report module. If you choose not to complete the LLM in Professional Legal Practice you will be issued with a Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) and will still have completed the vocational stage of training requirements.
