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?
Mindfulness? Everyone seems to talk about it but what does it actually mean? It’s about living in the moment. A good way of understanding is thinking about how a dog approaches a walk. It enjoys everything around it focussing on whatever interests it. Meanwhile, you might be walking along beside your dog consumed with worry and not seeing any of the scenery around you. The dog is practising mindfulness and you are not!
Not it seems a fear of catching Covid! Perhaps that’s not really too much of a surprise? The Equality Act 2010 allows for the protection of philosophical beliefs, and you may remember that this protection does extend to ethical veganism . The issue of whether protection extended to concerns about catching Covid and passing it on to vulnerable relatives was recently tested in the Employment Appeal Tribunal…
Typically essay questions are asking you to choose between two different points of view. Would it be a good idea for the UK to have a written constitution? Should the Human Rights Act be amended? Is trial by jury the best way to secure justice? Make sure you understand which two points of view are before you. Then decide which one you agree with.
Read the question. We mean REALLY read the question. Take some time to think what it’s trying to test and don’t just leap in to answer it. If you’ve done your work each week and engaged with revision but the question doesn’t seem to relate to anything on the syllabus you’re probably not reading it properly!
Here at Law Answered we go through law updates every week to make sure that we’re keeping up with the law and can update our guides effectively. Some weeks we find there’s nothing much to note but we’ve just come across three really interesting tort cases and thought we’d share them with you in advance of popping them into our guides for the summer release dates.
Aced your degree… check. Aced law school… check.
Ready to apply for law jobs… but no legal experience. So, what can you do?
Future employers going to want to see some legal work experience on your CV, if only to show that you have done your research and are serious about a career in law. But how do you get your foot in the door?
