To be paying such meagre sum is really top level exploitation
Under the new regime, everybody (aspiring practitioners, in-house counsel, legal academics) will be called/admitted as a "Lawyer (Non-Practitioner)"

By definition, in order to practise law, aspiring practitioners would need to get a practising certificate (presumably by completing RLT/PTC components) in order to actually practise law.

If this is the case, what is the point of being called to being called/admitted as a "Lawyer (Non-Practitioner)"?
