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?
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?
New information on the SQE is trickling out all the time. The SRA have recently posted a series of webinars on this with more information on dates, costs and venues. We thought we would save you the effort of sifting through it all – so we’ve summarised it in a quick 2-minute read below.
Here at Law Answered we have a weekly routine of looking through legal trackers to find new cases and any changes. We log anything interesting to update our guides annually and sometimes we blog about changes too. This is painstaking work, demanding close attention to detail and (let’s face it) sometimes some resilience, not all the updates are that interesting!
It’s been well documented that there’s been an explosion in pet ownership and there’ve been lots of reports of dogs being stolen and then re-sold – a real tragedy for owners and the animals concerned. Our attention was drawn this week to a claim about a “defective dog” under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 “CRA”.
Well if property law is “your thing” there’s recently been a helpful decision on this. If you’re doing an essay question which demands that you consider tenants’ liability under their leases to pay for repairs then it’s going to be well worth knowing about City of London v Leaseholders of Great Arthur House.

Ok, so you’ve bought the guide – investment made, problem solved, 100% success in your course is now completely guaranteed and you can sit back. Right? Well, not quite – our guides should have your back, but it helps if you can put our guides to best effect. After all, the one sitting the exam will ultimately be you!
If you want to be a professional lawyer then note that you will have to satisfy the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority or the Bar Council that you are a fit and proper person to be a lawyer. Examination malpractice or plagiarism will have to be notified to the relevant professional regulator and could stop your career in its tracks before it has even begun. Not really an outcome anyone would be looking for!
There really isn’t much point in litigating to recover debts if you’re not going to be able to get any money at the end of the day. It’s always been important to consider the financial position of the proposed defendant before leaping off to take legal action, but there is now something new to consider – at least in the short term – if you succeed in getting judgment.
All of us could be forgiven for being confused about how Brexit has affected human rights protection in the UK. Only last month one prominent Brexiter was criticising the EU Human Rights Act. Hold on… that’s not sounding right is it? If legislation is called an Act it has been passed by the UK government. Why would the UK government preface the name of the Act with EU? The proper name of the Act enshrining human rights protection is, of course, the Human Rights Act 1998 (“HRA”).
