Assertion (A): Students who have not taken an undergraduate degree in law can still become lawyers in UK.
Reasoning (R): Law firms look unfavourably on students with non-Law undergraduate degrees when recruiting trainees.

A is correct but R is false.

Students who have not taken an undergraduate degree in law can still become lawyers. For students with undergraduate degrees in subjects besides law, it is possible to enrol in the Graduate Diploma in Law course (GDL), which is commonly known as Common Professional Examination (CPE) or a conversion course. This is a one year full-time or two years part-time course, which covers the seven foundation subjects, and results in an LLB on passing. Law firms do not look unfavourably on students with non-Law undergraduate degrees when recruiting trainees.
