What is the LPC?

The legal practice course (LPC) is a one-year postgraduate vocational course that prepares you for life as a solicitor.

During the course, you will put your knowledge of the law into practice. It provides a grounding in legal practice and principles and teaches a wide range of legal skills including advocacy, interviewing and advising. Many institutions offer the LPC with different course structures and areas of specialty. Choose an institution which focuses on the area of law you plan to practise. If you’ve already secured your training contract, your firm may have a preferred institution and suggested electives.

You can get details and apply online at the LPC Central Applications Board or head to your careers centre for more information.
