    Hi @Lorenzo Pizarro It doesn't really matter. We certainly wouldn't prefer a non-law candidate simply because they have studied a GDL or MA. If we met a great non-law candidate we would simply send them to law school to study the GDL (and then the LPC). I hope that answers your question...

    Hi, Hi Maya, I really don't think vacation schemes will merge. They will just be rescheduled.
