The third edition of this manual provides a thorough, up-to-date and practical review of the progression of a civil litigation matter from the early stages up to and beyond trial. Comprehensive explanations of the law and procedure are enhanced by summary flowcharts, worked examples and practical exercises to complete.

The new editions of The University of Law SQE1 manuals have been revised to bring the law and procedure up to date as at 1 April 2023 (titles with tax elements to 30 April 2023) and incorporate changes in the SQE1 assessment specification. These updated versions, together with our periodic updating service, will make sure your knowledge of the SRA’s SQE1 syllabus is ‘exam ready’.

Our practice assessment questions, embedded throughout the manuals, which are in the style of the Single Best Answer Questions which make up the SQE1 assessments, have also been reviewed and updated.

This book is part of a series of 15 University of Law study manuals that cover SQE1.

This 3rd edition is suitable for any student studying the SQE1/LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) starting before July 2024. Students joining our September 2024 intake should wait for our 4th edition which will be published in August 2024.
