As far as I know, the Law Society validate some courses and dictate the
conditions under which they are assessed. However, there's no reason why
this should be a problem: in the past, I found them flexible and
accommodating and willing to accept any reasonable suggestion. In that
regard, the Society seemed rather better than some Law lecturers.

Subject: Legal Practice courses
Hi All,
I wonder if any of you have come up against this one before. I met with
the Course leader for our Legal Practice Certificate a couple of weeks
ago. This is the course that students do after they have done their law
degree to enable them to practice as a lawyer.
The course leader told me that as this course is governed by the Law
Society, any 'reasonable adjustments' that had to be made for a disabled
student had to be agreed by the law society first. Is this correct? I
assumed she was right but after discussing it with the team this
morning, we're now not so sure.
Any advice on this would be gratefully received.
Regards
Pauline.
