How is it even realistic to have candidates learn what practitioners have learnt over decades, in 6 months? This is just grooming negligent lawyers, with a barely superficial understanding of niche areas of laws, claiming to have understanding in these areas to go out and advice clients on these areas.
They want us to be jack of all traits, reading through only mothership principles in so many different areas of laws and to just ignore the cases, for the purposes of the exam. Wouldn't this implicitly inculcate in candidates to have this nonchalant approach of treating the research and understanding on the law? Absolute madness.

Because they are trying to "persuade" young and impressionable law graduates to replenish the dwindling numbers of community law practitioners by making all of them study criminal and family law in-depth.
But they don't understand the reason why the turnover rate is high for community law practitioners is the poor pay + long working hours. Many practising in community law realize the piss-poor deal they are having compared to in-house counsels and have departed for green pastures.
