We offer preparatory courses for many LLB modules at the University of London, including all compulsory modules. There are several for-profit and not-for-profit LSAT preparation programs of varying duration, intensity, and cost. Although it is not mandatory for students to take such a course, it is strongly recommended that they investigate the possibility.
Participation in such a program will give structure to the LSAT preparation process.

There are important skills, values, knowledge, and experience that you can gain prior to law school that provide a solid foundation for a legal education. If you want to adequately prepare for legal education and a career in law or any other professional service that involves the use of legal skills, you should look for educational, extracurricular and life experiences that will help you develop these qualities. The student who comes to law school without this foundation will face a difficult challenge.
Here are a few brief remarks. Discussion and analysis Problem solving You should look for courses and other experiences that will encourage critical thinking on important issues, challenge your beliefs, and improve your tolerance for uncertainty and criticism. Your legal background requires you to structure and evaluate the arguments for and against proposals that are likely to be reasonably debated. A good legal education will teach you to “think like a lawyer,” but the analytical and problem-solving skills required of lawyers are not fundamentally different from those employed by other professionals. Your law school experience will develop and refine these crucial skills, but you must enter law school with a reasonably well-developed set of analytical and problem-solving skills. Preparation for legal education should include extensive experience in carefully reading and critically analyzing complex textual documents, as much of what you will do as a law student and lawyer involves careful reading and understanding of legal opinions, statutes, documents, and other written materials. You can develop your critical reading skills in a variety of experiences, including accurately reading complex materials in literature, political or economic theory, philosophy or history. The particular nature of the materials examined is not determinative; It is important to note that law school should not be the first time you rigorously engage with the company to read, understand, and critically analyze complex written documents of considerable length. Writing and editing If you want to prepare for legal education, you need to develop a high level of written communication skills. Language is a lawyer`s most important tool, and lawyers need to learn to express themselves clearly and concisely. Legal education provides you with a good education in writing and, in particular, in specific techniques and forms of written expression common in law. However, basic writing skills must be acquired and refined before entering law school.
You should seek as much experience as possible that requires rigorous and analytical writing, including preparing original pieces of considerable length and reviewing written work in response to constructive criticism. Oral communication and listening The ability to speak clearly and persuasively is another essential skill for your success in law school and the practice of law. You also need to have excellent listening skills if you want to understand your customers and the other people you`ll interact with on a daily basis. As with writing skills, legal education provides excellent opportunities to hone oral communication skills and, in particular, to practice the most common forms and techniques of speaking in legal practice. Before you get to law school, however, you should try to develop your basic speaking and listening skills, such as participating in debates, making formal presentations in class, or speaking to groups at school, in the community, or in the workplace. While there are many sources and research techniques specific to law, you don`t need to have developed familiarity with these specific skills or documents before entering law school. However, it would be to your advantage to go to law school after having had experience with a project that requires extensive library research and analysis of large amounts of information from that research. The pre-right track is neither a major nor a minor, nor a certificate program, but a list of recommended law-related courses that you can take alongside your core courses.
These courses are designed to provide students with training in the skills and context useful for preparing to enter law school. All students are encouraged to prepare to enter law school early in their college careers and to consult regularly with the Pre-Law Advisor. The study of European Union law concerns treaties and legislation that directly or indirectly affect the law of the Member States of the European Union (EU). The EU is fully founded on the rule of law – provided that every action taken by the group as a whole is based on treaties voluntarily and democratically adopted by all Member States – and EU law has the same force as the national law of each Member State.
