The decision has been made. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) announced this week that its planned Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) is going ahead.
This means that the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and the Legal Practice Course (LPC) will cease to exist, but not yet! The SRA plans to implement the SQE from September 2020, at the earliest, a year later than originally scheduled.
What does this mean for you as a Law student, if you wish to qualify as a solicitor?
If you are interested, I suggest you might like to read the following:

Lawcareers.net - New 'super exam' confirmed for qualifying solicitors confirmed for 2020
There are lots of decisions still to be made about the detail of the changes by the SRA and others, but for the time being it's very much "business as usual"!
