<p>My uncle has his bachelor of laws and it is the most worthless degree ever considering he could not get into a decent law school… and what do you fall back on? (the bachelor of laws is awarded in most common law countries, here in the US they have stopped awarding it almost completely… since 1971 it does not allow you to sit for the bar.)</p>
<p>Your friend from the UK more than likely is pursuing the bachelor of laws or going the LPC route, either way he should be fine.</p>
