Saw this on the College of Law board - just wondering what people thought of it as an idea:

http://www.college-of-law.co.uk/LLM/ui/requestinformation.aspx

Does it de-value the concept of an LLM?

So they do a couple of extra modules and suddenly every solicitor who qualifies gets an LLM??!? That's a bit of a joke and rather unfair.
Kind of like that whole MA thing they do in Oxford, Cambridge and Trinity where they get a masters degree upon paying a fee 2 years after they complete their undergrad.
It undermines the whole thing. Erg! Next they will be offering PhDs if you write a particularly deep slightly longer than average essay about how law is great and stuff. Is it wrong to want to hurt whoever came up with this?

Not at all - given that I'm at the CoL at the moment it was pretty difficult to resist trying to hunt them down this morning...
