    Not All Lawyers Have Law Degrees series 3 episode 4 is a re-release of our discussion with Dr Victoria Roper, Associate Professor at Northumbria University and Chair of the National Education and Training Committee of the Law Society. Victoria clarifies the finer points of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (or SQE) which was introduced in September 2021 and will eventually replace the current Legal Practice Course (LPC). She also answers crucial questions like – How much will it cost? What happens if I fail an exam? And what to do if you’ve already started the LPC?
