LJMU Legal Practice Course
It has been said that the Legal Practice Course (LPC) is a halfway house between the academic study of law and professional legal practice. If that is the case then you will find this particular half way house, a home from home. At LJMU you will be treated as an individual, staff will know your name, and we will all do our best to provide the support that will enable you to develop and enhance the skills, knowledge and understanding that will ensure a successful legal career.

At LJMU we are proud of our open access policy and the highly supportive learning environment we provide. Although the content and context of the course is highly prescribed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the LPC at LJMU does have its own underlying principles. Put simply we aim to:
- Fully prepare you for your training contract by equipping you to deal with the everyday tasks and the demands that are likely to be made of you in practice; and
- to lay the foundation for your future practice as solicitors by encouraging habits of competence, confidence and professionalism.
As befits a professional course, the LPC is very demanding. You will come to rely on the support networks you create as you progress through the course. In monitoring visits the Solicitors Regulation Authority has commended our open door policy, and considered the supportive working environment to be one of the many strengths of the LPC at LJMU.
We would be more than pleased to meet you if you would like to visit us and our facilities.
