Question:
To become a Barrister in United Kingdom, graduates are required to complete:
Options:
the Legal Practice Course (LPC)
the Bar Vocational Course (BVC)
qualifying law degree
Both 2 and 3
Correct Answer:
Both 2 and 3
Explanation:
Legal education in the UK consists of a three-year LL.B., directly after secondary school. Graduates from fields other than law and non-graduates can become solicitors, but the LL.B. is the most straightforward path. Clinical education continues after the LL.B., through the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and training contracts. To become a Barrister, graduates are required to complete the Bar Vocational Course (BVC) instead of the LPC and then seek a "pupillage" instead of a training contract.
