LLB (Hons) Law

About your course 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. You will gain invaluable insight into the pro-bono work that we are proud to undertake, helping to support access to justice in our city via our award-winning Legal Advice Centre. 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. * There are 24 places available for students who select the level 6 Year Long Advanced Clinical Legal Education module to spend the year working with Support Through Court at Liverpool Civil & Family Justice Centre. You work one full day a week on site helping the service. Every year, thousands of people in England and Wales face court alone. Often through no choice of their own, they must represent themselves at a moment that could determine the rest of their life. They may face eviction from their home or lose contact with their children. In an unfamiliar courtroom, up against a party with legal representation, the process can be stressful and confusing. Support Through Court Liverpool stands with those who have nowhere else to turn, offering support and guidance before, during, and after court. They make sure people facing court are not alone and help them navigate a complex legal system with dignity and self-assurance, so that they can best represent themselves. Student support and availability directly contributed to Support Through Court Liverpool returning to full time operating hours which had previously been reduced due to the impacts of the pandemic. In the academic year 2022-23 LJMU students assisted clients on 1376 occasions and supported 178 hearings (a 147% hearing increase from the preceding 6-month period when students were not on-site in Liverpool), as well as developing essential legal and employability skills. Support Through Court Liverpool is a five-year exclusive partnership with LJMU and is only available to LJMU LLB Law students. Law Competitions 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. For four consecutive years, our students have won the annual Oriel Chamber's Mooting Competition. Tia and Jake won the prestigious competition this March.. We also have a history of success at the Client Interviewing and Counselling Competition, and we hosted the UK's first ever National Mediation Competition for law students. More recently, a Mediation team represented the School of Law and Justice Studies at the prestigious INADR Inaugural Invita
