The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has approved the Oxford Institute of Legal Practice and LawNet for its revamped work-based learning scheme launched earlier this year.
The Oxford Institute – which is part of Oxford Brookes University – and LawNet, the national network for mid-size firms, put in a joint proposal to become an assessment organisation for work-based learning that will see them take on 11 trainee solicitors who are not necessarily suited to the traditional training contract.
