Updated guides are coming soon!
We update our Core Guides every summer in time for the new academic year. We’ve had a fair few students get in touch already about when we’ll be releasing our next updates, so click here for the breakdown.
We are looking for a team of law student ambassadors for the 2024/25 academic year. If you want to expand your skills and develop your network, this is the role for you.
We have an experienced editorial team at Law Answered, but we’re always looking for bright students to give us feedback to improve our products. We want our guides to be the best they can be and to tell students what they really need to know for their exams - so that’s where our Student Advisors come in!
We are looking for student advisors who are currently studying the PGDL (or MA Law) and the SQE… apply now!
We are looking for a motivated, conscientious individual with excellent written, legal and communication skills and a love for helping students to join our team as a Legal Writer.
When it comes to getting through your law exams and finding your dream job can feel like the biggest challenge there is. We totally get it. So many questions. So many decisions. It’s overwhelming.
And if there is one thing law students don’t have… is a lot of spare time to be figuring this all out yourself.
That’s why we’ve created the Answered Squad. Want to find out more?
If you’ve studies Civil Lit you’ll have learnt about search orders – draconian in nature these empower solicitors to look for particular categories of documents which are described in advance to the court. These orders are made infrequently and only where the court is persuaded that there is good reason that if the order is not made then relevant documents might go missing.
The SRA has been slow in responding to COVID-19 related disruption, but it looks like there might be some hope now for LPC students worried about postponed exams. It looks like the regulator is considering allowing exams to take place online. This will be great news for students worried about the effect postponing assessments will have on their career. Details of what the online assessments will be are yet to come though. Find out more on the Law Gazette.
Those of you studying LPC will be familiar with the process of disclosure of documents (see page 33 of our LPC guide).
Broadly, if you’re going to embark on litigation you have to let the other side see relevant documents.
Newly updated editions of our LPC guides to Corporate Transactions, Corporate Finance, Debt Finance and Equity Finance are now available. Make sure you check out these guides if you are taking these exams!
Many of you who are studying the LPC this year are expecting to be examined on the new SRA Code of Conduct; this finally came into force on 25th November 2019. We have updated our LPC guide accordingly. But don’t worry – if you are being taught at an institution which is examining this year under the old rules - we can still let you have a copy of the previous version of our guide. (Do make sure you look at the new rules before you actually start work though!!)
