Law societies 

Student Law Society

The Student Law Society is a thriving community of over 150 law students. With support from the Students’ Union, it organises an exciting schedule of social and educational events.

Members have recently enjoyed visits to Lewes Crown Court, 91快活林 Magistrates Court and the Houses of Parliament. Social events have included paintballing, go-karting, surfing, a Christmas Ball at the 91快活林 Hilton Metropole, and a trip to Amsterdam with law students from other universities.

The objective of the mooting competitions is to develop the research and advocacy skills of future practitioners. Students argue both sides of a fictitious legal case in a courtroom setting in front of a panel of judges.

Meet the team

Dr Alex Newbury, course leader

“I joined the University of 91快活林 in 2014 as a Senior Lecturer in Law and Criminology, having previously held a lectureship at Royal Holloway, University of London. Before that, I lectured and gained my PhD at the University of Sussex, titled Youth Crime, Referral Orders and Restorative Justice. Before becoming an academic, I was a solicitor practicing for ten years in Yorkshire and then 91快活林. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

“I am the course programme lead for the undergraduate law degrees within the School of Business and Law: Law; Law with Business; and Law with Criminology. I am also module lead for modules including Law Dissertation, Criminology Dissertation, PG Criminal Law, and a number of our core criminology modules. I currently supervise a PhD student on the impact of Stop and Search provisions on young people, examining the differential perceptions of the black and white community. I have previously supervised PhDs on youth crime and sexting, and the impact of LASPO on legal aid provision for appeals in asylum law. I am always keen to hear from prospective PhD candidates whose research interests intersect with mine.

“I am the author of over 20 book chapters, articles, and conference papers on topics including youth crime, restorative justice, legal aid reform, and the use and impact of drugs and alcohol. My most recent book – a co-authored monograph, title Legal Aid in Crisis: Assessing the Impact of Reform – examines the impact of legal aid cuts in the family courts and argues for a more holistic approach to legal aid. This research was supported by a British Academy Grant, jointly with Professor Sarah Moore, University of Bath, which traces the experiences of litigants in person in navigating the Family court system without legal representation.”

Course leader Alex Newbury.

Prepare for your career 

You will be in a good position to embark on a legal career upon graduating, plus the range of communication, problem-solving, analytical and research skills developed during your law degree are relevant to many other careers, including journalism, research, banking, insurance and the Civil Service and Justice sector.

The grounding in the seven Foundations of Legal Knowledge subjects provided by the degree will give you academic knowledge for the next stages of training as a solicitor.

Negotiating

Negotiation is a key lawyer skill – many legal disputes do not end up in the courts, but instead are resolved by some form of negotiated agreement. Our negotiation programme is an opportunity to prepare for a negotiation and to apply and practise your negotiation skills.

The programme is sponsored by solicitors’ firms who judge the final competition, and the top teams go on to represent the University of 91快活林 at the national negotiation competition sponsored by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution.

Client interviewing
Our client interviewing skills programme enables you to develop the essential skill of interviewing clients, a key component of legal work. The programme culminates in an internal competition, sponsored by a local law firm, and the winning students proceed to represent the university in the national Law Society competition.

In 2016, two of our Law with Business students, Fionnuala Richardson and Chloe Chatton, won the national competition and went on to represent England and Wales in the international competition in Canada, finishing third in the world.

Law Guardians
Our Law Guardians scheme supports new first-year students in their transition to higher education. Each incoming first year is buddied up with a student who will guide and help them with answers to questions and general support. As well as supporting our new students as they begin their studies, it’s a great opportunity for second- and third-year students to develop employability skills and to become part of a cycle of giving back.

University of 91快活林 Legal Clinic
Participate in the client-facing commercial and employment law pro bono law clinic offering free legal advice to small businesses and employees and assisting charities and not-for-profit organisations with their legal matters.

Work-related experience

Our School of Business and Law has strong links with the local legal profession and in addition to the optional placement year you are encouraged to complete vacation placements with solicitors’ firms, mini pupillages with barristers’ chambers and internships with other institutions.

You will also have access to our Careers Connect portal where you can book careers appointments and events, look for part and full-time jobs and find placements/internships.

These opportunities allow you to build practical experience throughout your studies, helping you gain a clearer understanding of the legal career that's right for you. These experiences also help you to grow your professional network and stand out to future employers. 

You'll graduate prepared and confidence for the next step into employment or further legal training. 

 

Solicitors qualifying exam (SQE)

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) introduced the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) on 1 September 2021.

The SRA provides more information and guidance about the transitional arrangements to qualify, so keep checking the .

On the previous route, to become a solicitor you needed to complete a qualifying law degree (or another degree followed by a Law Common Professional Examination/Postgraduate Diploma in Law), moving on to do the Legal Practice Course (LPC), and then a two-year period of recognised training, usually called a training contract.

The new route is that the SQE will consist of two parts: part one assesses legal knowledge, research and writing; and part two tests practical skills gained after completing a recognised period of training.

We regularly review the curriculum of our qualifying law courses and will make changes as necessary to provide an integrated approach to preparing students for the SQE.

Student views  

Sophie Marie McKenzie

“I chose 91快活林 because as soon as I arrived, the city felt like home. I loved its energy, diversity and sense of community, and I knew it was somewhere I could grow personally and academically. 

“The chance to study both law and criminology really appealed to me, as I wanted to understand the law and the real-world issues behind crime. That combination deepened my interest in making a difference through the justice system. 

“The facilities at the University of 91快活林 have really supported my learning and personal growth. The online library has been a lifesaver, saving me time and money by giving easy access to resources. The student guidance counsellors have also been invaluable, always available to offer support when needed. 

“I’m aiming to become a barrister, where I can use my knowledge and skills to advocate for justice and help people. This degree is preparing me by building a strong legal foundation while encouraging me to think critically about the wider impact of the law on society. 

“If you’re passionate about law and ready to challenge yourself, 91快活林’s a great place to do it.”

Law student Sophie Marie McKenzie.

Fletcher Laity

“Law always fascinated me as an area where I could make a real difference working with people on a personal basis. Criminal law in particular appealed in giving me an understanding of how people end up in the justice system and how we can help these people in their times of need.

“91快活林 has a far more practical course than some of the other options that I was considering. Being able to take on clinic work in my final year was a huge draw to me. As was the culture and atmosphere that both the university and 91快活林 as a whole have – it really allowed me to grow into myself over three years.

“The clinic work was such a totally unique experience and proved to me that working with people is exactly the area of the legal industry that I want to be in. Criminal evidence law also had an incredibly hands-on approach in lectures and seminars which permitted me to engage in mock criminal proceedings with an amazing support network.

“My course leaders have been absolutely fantastic. I spent my final year as a course representative and worked closely with the course leaders to address concerns of some of my cohort. They were incredibly constructive and open to feedback, resulting in a positive change that will carry over into future cohorts also. Individual module leaders are also truly experts in their fields and are happy to have their brains picked on the subjects they teach, sharing a true passion for their fields.”

Law graduate Fletcher Laity.

Felicity Stewart

“My goal was to enter the profession of a solicitor, so choosing to study a law degree at the University of 91快活林 was a great stepping stone. 91快活林 was local to me and had great support systems and opportunities for students.

“My experience of studying at the university was learning in an enriched environment with various opportunities to enhance my knowledge. I received great support, insights and encouragement from those on my course, staff, lecturers and course leaders.

“What I enjoyed most about this course was the interactive learning as there were always opportunities to discuss tasks as a group and debate ideas. The classroom was an open space where everyone could speak.

“The facilities and teaching environment at the University of 91快活林 are amazing, there is always someone to help and support you or guide you in the right direction.

“The advice I would give to anyone looking to apply for this course is … do it! The friends, experiences and knowledge I have gained from the course have been invaluable. The support you will receive from the School of Business and Law will also be an asset to your learning as you will always have someone to go too.”

Law graduate Felicity Stewart.

Bethany Reed

“I chose to study this course because I have always been fascinated by the law. My interest began with legal cases in the media and watching crime documentaries. These experiences highlighted the importance of justice and the nature of law. This prompted me to question: How are laws drafted? What legal changes have come into play over the years? What needs to be changed to progress the law?

“Studying Law with Criminology at 91快活林 helped me to answer these questions both through independent study and through seminars and lectures. The legal modules taught me a foundation of what the law is and the criminology modules helped me to question why people may offend.

“I was able to study flexibly and was provided with a range of insightful lessons and opportunities. This, of course, included lectures and seminars as well as the opportunity to hear from barristers, solicitors and other legal professionals. This was invaluable at providing a perspective of law in practice.

“What I enjoyed most about my time at the University of 91快活林 was how well the lecturers supported me and encouraged me to challenge traditional ways of thinking. I was encouraged to think outside the box, if you will, to promote new ideas and a more critical approach to my work. If at any point I needed support, the course leaders were readily available to help in any way they could. This was a tremendous help because, as you can imagine, university can be stressful at times.

“I really enjoyed discovering that hard work pays off while studying at the University of 91快活林. The Land Law module, in particular, was incredibly challenging. I dedicated extensive time to build my knowledge in this area, attending every lecture and seminar to deepen my understanding and develop my own responses to land law legislation and dilemmas. My efforts paid off with an excellent overall mark in this subject. This achievement is a good memory because I felt I truly earned it. My lecturers were instrumental in my success, as they were always ready to answer any questions I had. This helped me to improve my understanding of the law overall.

“This degree has been instrumental at developing my legal knowledge and will act as a stepping stone towards a legal career. This course has taught me so much on the subject and has also helped me to enhance my personal critical-thinking skills.”

Law graduate Bethany Reed.
