Legal business events: Law students fall

There has been a record drop in the number of students applying to study law, according to figures which may be off interest to people attending legal business events.

The statistics from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) found that there was a 5.2 per cent dip in the number of people applying to study law this year, when compared to a year before. In fact there was nearly 14,000 applicants for law courses at the 26 universities that supply figures to UCAS.

However, it wasn't just law courses that suffered a drop in student numbers overall there was a nine per cent drop in the number of people applying to higher education courses; which is the biggest fall in more than 30 years.
