Assessment
For the Legal Practice Research Project, you are expected to produce a research proposal and a dissertation or reflective portfolio.
For Stage One and Stage Two, you will be assessed by written examinations and practical skills assessments, which will include recorded role play in our moot courtroom and client interviewing room.
Careers
