Writing in the Guardian, John Flood, professor of law and sociology at Westminster University, says: 'One of the key ways that I envision apprenticeships developing is for people to be trained in a specific legal area, such as divorce or debt collecting.' Taking on the argument that this would narrow their experience very early on, he says that the profession can already be accused of doing that. He writes: 'New lawyers are primarily taught how to analyse cases and learn nothing about how law is practiced as a business.' Source: The Guardian
