As a qualified lawyer trained in another jurisdiction interested in the SQE route, Future Solicitor offers exactly the services I was looking for! The versatile platform is easy to navigate and it allows users to move easily between modules depending on your needs. For instance, in my own Civil Law jurisdiction the fields of Criminal Law or Tort Law are taught distinctively differently to how these areas work in the English Common Law tradition, so I knew I needed to devote more time to that course than to Public Law or Dispute Resolution. I also found the study notes and practice exams very helpful to retain key information —especially when it came to memorising salient titles and sections. I am certain the platform will prove to be a key resource for both UK-based degree-level students and foreign lawyers trained in other jurisdictions who seek to be qualified in the English legal market!

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Each of the many detailed legal issues was explained with great clarity, however complex it was. Each legal point is outlined by this very experienced lawyer, and the actual wording of each part of the law is written on the screen as he speaks. Examples from decisive court cases are used to clarify each point of law.

It was especially helpful to be able to pause or repeat each point to fully absorb and record it in my notes.

Altogether, a clear, accessible explanation of every point in this extensive field.

A highly recommended course!
