SRA faces criticism over delayed dataThe super-regulator’s interim boss has pressed the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to release training provider pass rates “as soon as possible”.
Richard Orpin’s comments come after the Legal Services Board (LSB) raised concerns back in April over the failure to publish the pass rates which in turn will help students make informed decisions about which provider to choose.
The SRA had initially aimed to publish pass rates by late 2023, but that deadline passed with the regulator citing a lack of “sufficient data”.
Fast forward to February 2025 — and still no pass rates — the SRA this time attributed the delay to “unexpected problems” with data quality.
In the absence of official data, some law schools have begun publishing their own pass rate breakdowns, relying on students voluntarily disclosing their results.
