Diploma in Legal Practice

Diploma in Legal Practice
Old College, home to the Edinburgh School of Law

The Diploma in Legal Practice is a Scottish postgraduate qualification required in order to practise law in Scotland, as either a solicitor or an advocate. It is undertaken after completing undergraduate study and before commencing a traineeship.

The course is intended to provide students with the more practical skills they will require after academic study, comprising compulsory modules in conveyancing, civil court practice, criminal court practice, private client, financial services and related skills, accountancy and professional responsibility, with a choice of either company and commercial or public administration.[1]

The Diploma attracts a quota of funded places from the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS), currently set at three hundred.[1] The funding extends to a contribution of around £3,000 towards fees and a means-tested subsistence allowance, however from 2010/11 the system will change and it is unlikely that this funding will be offered.[2] Fees for the Diploma are around £4,250.[2]
