Students will learn about the law and legal skills such as how to interview clients. They will take part in mock court cases (civil and criminal) and work on real-life legal problems.
Students will also get plenty of opportunity to network within the local legal sector. Past activities have included, for example, meeting with the judiciary, visits to prisons, tours of the police headquarters and work experience/training days with local firms of solicitors and barristers.
In this course students will:
- Examine the intricacies of the English legal system and compare it with other international legal systems.
- Participate in professional and personal development activities including advocacy and confidence in public speaking training, mooting, mock court trials and client interviewing competitions.
- Be supported in gaining work experience and making connections with local law firms and legal organizations.
- Develop confidence in independent thinking, teamwork, research and writing.
