Readers' comments (7)    • The help targeting the year 12's and
increasing access to secondary schools does not help the
aspiring trainees who have already passed that stage!      It
seems a large aspect of the problem is that major law firms ONLY
target a handful of the top universities.      Why are there no
magic circle firms or large regional firms attending law fayres
at universities such as Portsmouth or Bournemouth?      It is
not where your from...but where you are going that matters.
I would suggest a solution in firms not asking for the name of
your school or university. That way they would not know who was
from a private school/ top uni !      Unsuitable or offensive?

disadvantaged youngsters to consider a career in law, but that
doesn't remove the barrier of an extra year of stufdy (LPC/BVC)
with huge costs. Some might get BVC scholarships or training
contracts that pay for the LP
