Details

This is an essential title for all aspiring solicitors in the UK, qualified lawyers in foreign jurisdictions, and students. It will help you understand what to expect from the SQE exams, how to prepare for them, and how the skills will benefit you in practice.

Complementing your academic study materials, it provides insightful and practical, rather than merely theoretical, understanding. The book covers both SQ1 and SQE2, and offers solutions to questions and challenges when studying and practising your skills for the assessments, such as:

What do you do when writing your attendance note and you realise you forgot to discuss an important point with your client in the interview?
Should you make small talk or not with your client?
How to deal with a situation when you cannot answer your client's question?
What happens if you go over time?
How do you continue with confidence and maintain your focus when you have made a mistake or do not know the law?
How do you answer a judge professionally if you do not know the answer to a question?

This updated 2nd edition teaches you how to explain the law and legal principles in a clear and simplified manner, as well as to hone your communication skills in order to deliver a confident performance.
