Law with Foundation Year (Hons) Liverpool John Moores University

Overview

The Law with Foundation Year (Hons) course at Liverpool John Moores University is truly innovative in that you can observe real law in action from Semester 2 of your first year.

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.

Career

As an accredited qualifying degree this LLB (Hons) in Law provides the essential academic training required to become a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales, allowing you to progress directly onto the Legal Practice Course or the Bar Professional Training Course.

In addition to preparing future lawyers, the LLB has a wide-ranging appeal in a broad array of careers, from local and central government, the criminal justice system and the commercial world.

All LLB Law students have the opportunity to volunteer for the School of Law's Legal Advice Centre, which offers a range of pro bono legal services to residents of Merseyside, including family law, employment law, wills and administration legal issues. The service works closely with solicitor mentors from some of Liverpool's best legal firms, giving students plenty of opportunities to put their legal education into practice while making connections with local practitioners.
