隔牆有耳： 高登泰自爆PCLL肥佬 法律界高登佬石永泰接受商台《雲常開》訪問，自爆考試曾經肥佬。佢話喺英國劍橋讀法律後，1987年返港考PCLL，事前貼晒題目實冇死，卻冇留意當年改制，結果兩條必答題唔識，肥佬收場。佢話結果好震撼，笑稱「但我亦冇一個電話可以打畀人，同人講我爸爸係邊個！」無奈下接受現實，咁啱有人介紹佢到中環一間律師行實習，咪諗住1987至88年呢年返工賺幾千蚊學吓嘢，橫掂一年後已經要去英國讀碩士。 故事卻峯迴路轉，據聞當時港大質疑嗰年點解海外返嚟考PCLL嘅60幾個考生，有成50幾個肥佬？最終決定收番包括石永泰在內嘅一啲學生。佢話本來立志讀工程，後尾數學有啲辳味，讀到冇嘢好讀就讀法律，估唔到竟然係咁樣讀law囉。 李八方

明報專訊】我家在港大何鴻燊運動場附近，很多時候乘車出外，在專線小巴上都會遇見港大的學生。大概一年多前有一天黃昏在港大何鴻燊運動場外上了小巴，一同上車的有10多位剛從運動場出來坐車回大學本部的港大學生。 學生們在車上高聲談話，夾雜現今大學生難免的粗口談話中，發現他們都是就讀法律學院本科4年級和法律專業證書（PCLL）課程的學生。他們談及大學法律本科畢業升讀PCLL因為僧多粥少而比較困難。他們把升讀PCLL機會減少的原因歸咎於大學近年大量招收為具有非法律本科學士學位的人開辦的法學博士（Juris Doctor，JD）課程的畢業生，同樣可以報讀PCLL課程。 港缺PCLL學額 學子沒公平機會 他們談話內容很有意思，他們說大學為了增加收入紛紛開辦收費高昂的JD課程，同時為了保持JD課程作為升讀PCLL途徑的市場吸引力，刻意預留相當部分PCLL學額給JD的畢業生，因而使留給大學法律本科畢業生的PCLL學額相對減少了。 就讀本港3間大學其中一間的PCLL課程，並通過校內考試合格是目前本地及海外回流法律本科畢業生和JD畢業生能晉身律師或大律師專業的唯一途徑。換
