Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The pass rate in the Bar's vocational course was up this year, from 85 to nearly 90 per cent. A disparity still exists, however, between the marks of white students and those from ethnic minority backgrounds, whose pass rate hovered on the 80 per cent mark. But it is a considerable improvement on the 1992 figure of 55 per cent that led to the setting-up of the Barrow Committee.
The College of Law's legal practice course (LPC) has been passed by more than 85 per cent of students. Results from other institutions offering the LPC are being collated by the Law Society.
