Leading to: Law LLB (Hons)

The professionally accredited LLB (Hons) Law is uniquely placed by giving students the opportunity to observe law in action from Semester 2 of their very first year, through our award-winning Legal Advice Centre.

This course is truly innovative in that you can observe real law in action from Semester 2 of your first year. The core module 'Law in Society' is delivered by our award-winning Legal Advice Centre and means you will gain invaluable insight into the pro-bono work that we are proud to undertake, attending solicitor interviews with clients and helping to support access to justice in our city.

The Legal Advice Centre is something you can be part of all the way through to your final year of study. Since 2014, LJMU's Legal Advice Centre has helped over 500 clients and given £0.6million worth of free advice to the local community.

Our style of teaching has an enviable record in regional and national mooting competitions. Mootings are mock court room trials, where students argue their cases before Senior Barristers.

Final and second year students Emily and Shay won the prestigious Oriel Chamber competition this February.

We also have a history of success at the Client Interviewing and Counselling Competition, reaching the finals in 2010, and we hosted the UK's first ever National Mediation Competition for law students.

More recently, a Mediation team represented the School at the prestigious INADR Inaugural Invitations Law Schools Mediation Tournament in Dubai - the team were crowned overall champions and each individual received a top 10 finalist spot.
