LAA226 Foundations in Legal Practice

This module is designed to develop students' knowledge of how the legal rules they have been learning about over the past 2 years are applied in both contentious and non-contentious practice in England & Wales. There are two key aspects to this module: 1. You will study how professional ethics forms the heart of professional regulation and underpins how lawyers advise and represent their clients. 2. To fully appreciate how this all works, you will be introduced to the practical skills that all practising layers must develop i.e. practical legal research, interviewing, advocacy, writing, drafting and negotiation. By applying these skills to aspects of legal practice, you will develop a solid foundation for undertaking your professional vocational study (be it the Legal Practice Course or the Bar Professional Training Course) and achieve your career in legal practice.
