    Hey guys, just wondering if anyone could tell me about the pros and cons of deciding to do the LPC instead of the FE-1s and ppcs. Will have a qualifying law degree.

    Thanks!

    You need English Land Law along with several other core subjects for the English route.

    The subjects studied in an Irish law degree will do for the following core subjects:

    Public Law/Constitutional & Administrative Law
    Obligations I/Contract
    Obligations II/ Tort
    Criminal Law
    Equity & the Law of Trusts
    Law of the European Union

    The final core subject is Law of Property/Land Law which the Solicitors Regulation authority in the UK specify must be "english" Land Law.

    If you have a law degree, but you're missing any of these, you have to do the GDL - not the full thing, just whatever you're missing. You have to spend a year doing it even if it's just one subject. (Well, a college might admit you late if it's just one subject - don't rely on this, but theoretically you spend a year doing the subject(s) you're missing).

    Some Irish uni's are now teaching English Land Law I believe so that people have qualifying law degrees and can go straight onto the LPC.
