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!

This is an excellent resource for SQE preparation, offering over abundant videos, mock exams, diagrams, and clear notes. Personally, it greatly helped me pass the SQE, with insightful content and confidence-boosting mock exams. I highly recommend it for SQE candidates. The course simplified complex legal concepts, and the experienced instructor provides on-screen legal text, using real court cases for illustration. The option to pause and review content was really helpful. Overall, it’s a concise, accessible, and highly recommended resource for SQE success.

I highly recommend it!
