Long live the law degree

Article Abstract:

It is clear that there is a need to review approaches to training lawyers in the UK. Legal studies have been amended in some areas over recent years to reflect changes in modern law firms, but there are still some aspects of legal studies that are inadequate. Today's lawyers need to be skilled in marketing, and must also have abilities in time management, knowledge of accounts systems and be able to manage people effectively. It is now time to consider offering a qualifying law degree which also contains key elements of business management.
