No over supply – look at the way the courts are clogged up given the lack of judges, barristers etc. leading to long waits before cases are listed.

This view might be out of date as it was over ten years ago that I did the course, and I don’t want to be unkind, but there were many international students on my course who could barely string a sentence together in English.

That said, most of them had top grades and intended to practise in their home jurisdictions where this would not have mattered. A bare pass from a British institution seemed to carry more weight than a high grade from a college in their home country, for some reason.

ICCA is not the old ICSL. The old ICSL is now City Law School. ICCA is the Inns of Court College of Advocacy

Yes. Maybe because if the regulation for international students weren’t so strict. Can’t even apply to so many opportunities due to visa restrictions. Your statement shows nothing but utter ignorance and privilege. Need not to say more.
