Law Society welcomes LSRA reports; supports commitment to widening access to the legal profession
The Law Society of Ireland welcomes the publication of the Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA) Breaking Down Barriers reports.
The Law Society is committed to widening access to the legal profession through targeted investment and further development of our existing initiatives in this area, which include a range of financial supports, new routes to legal qualifications, and school outreach programmes.
Recent Law Society research findings indicate that new pathways to legal education such as the Law Society’s Professional Practice Course (PPC) Hybrid are already helping to diversify demographics in the profession, but more needs to be done. The Law Society looks forward to working with the LSRA to implement the recommendations detailed in these reports and to further broadening access to the legal profession.
