SQE Manuals: Functioning Legal Knowledge [FLK 1] Bundle 5th ed

The Functioning Legal Knowledge 1 bundle contains 8 study manuals that have been specially collated to focus on this area of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) syllabus for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) in a concise and tightly focused manner.

The new fifth editions, updated to 1 May 2025, cover recent case law and legislative developments, as well as procedural and taxation changes. The Manuals reflect the SQE1 Assessment Specification (updated April 2025) applicable for assessments from 1 September 2025, including discussion of SRA Warning Notices on NDAs and SLAPPs in Ethics and Professional Conduct. Further, Dispute Resolution has been fully revised and expanded.

Published and updated regularly, these user-friendly study manuals are designed to help you successfully prepare for the SQE1 exams. They provide solid knowledge and understanding of fundamental legal principles and rules, while bringing the law and practice to life with example scenarios based on realistic client problems.

Each title is complemented by worked examples and sample assessment questions that enable you to test your knowledge and understanding through single best answer questions that have been modelled on the SRA’s sample assessment questions.

For students at The University of Law, the study manuals are used alongside other learning resources and the University’s assessment bank to prepare students not only for the SQE1 exams, but also for a future life in professional legal practice.
