The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has set out a series of proposals to overhaul the UK’s legal education and training system, in response to a major review of the sector, which concluded in June.

In a policy statement published tomorrow (16 October), the SRA says it wants an end to what it called the “one size fits all” approach to the solicitors’ qualification, including the development of more “flexible” routes that are “tailored to specific markets and needs”.
