Just spoke to a mate and former colleague who is a Practice Manager in a large firm. We have our usual whinge about the operational incompetence of the LAA then move on to legal aid generally. In passing she remarks that she used to send out 20 or so “thank you for your interest buy we are not taking on trainee solicitors at the present time” letters a month. She has not sent a single one in the last 6.
