LPC SKILLS
ASSESSMENT Tutor

Law Tutor provides university educated essay writing tutor and academic to help students produce answers for those undertaking the year of legal training for solicitors that is the LPC.

WHAT IS the lpc?

The Legal Practice Course (LPC) is a one-year programme (or two years if completed part-time) that, upon completion of an eligible law degree, enables graduates to take the first step towards a career as a solicitor. Graduates who have completed the programme with a passing grade are granted the qualifications necessary to begin working in the legal field. While the University of Law, BPP, and Kaplan Law School (more commonly known as Nottingham) are considered to be the primary providers of the LPC, the programme is actually provided by as many as 27 schools on an annual basis. Many students who are enrolled in the LPC already have training contracts lined up, which are contingent on their successful completion of the LPC. There are also many more people who enrol in the course with the expectation of securing a training contract in the future and, as a result, feel the pressure to do exceptionally well. Nonetheless, each year a significant number of students unnecessarily fail or struggle to complete this course. Your chances of passing the LPC will almost certainly go up if you get assistance from a knowledgeable and well regarded professional law tutor who has years of teaching expertise.

Do LPC grades matter?

When you get through the automated filters, companies will look at your academics as a "package." Good results on the LPC do reflect dedication and competence, and they can help offset grades received on A-level exams. However, this will not get you past the automated filter that some companies use to determine whether or not applicants have A-levels.

Distinction

You will be awarded the Postgraduate Certificate with a classification of Distinction if you meet the following requirements: (i) you have passed all assessments with no resits; (ii) you have obtained an average mark of at least 70 percent across all three CPAs; (iii) you have obtained a mark of at least 70 percent in at least two of the three CPAs; and (iv) you have a satisfactory record of attendance.

Commendation

You will be given the Postgraduate Certificate with a Commendation classification if you satisfy the following requirements: I you have either a. passed all assessments with no resits; or b. failed only one assessment in the Skills, Wills & Administration of Estates, PCR or Solicitors' Accounts and have passed that assessment on first resit; and (ii) you have obtained an average mark of at least 60 percent across the three CPAs; and (iii) have obtained a mark of at least 60% in at least two of the three CPAs; and (iv) have a satisfactory record of attendance.

Pass

The mark of "Pass" will be given to any and all students who are able to demonstrate that they have successfully finished the course, but who do not fulfil the requirements outlined above to be awarded the distinction of "Distinction" or "Commendation."

CORE MODULES

What sets us at Law Tutor apart is that we only use elite level law tutor. Our tutor has specific experience of how and what you are being taught and what needs to be put into practice as a lawyer. This enables our tutor to break down the sometimes complex information into more manageable chunks, enabling you to well on skills assessment exercises.

SKILLS assessment exercises

The LPC is not just about training you in law or in procedure. To become a successful lawyer, you will need to master the skills of the profession. This is especially so in a profession that is becoming less dichotomised between solicitors and barristers, leaving more room for solicitors to become highly polished advocates or negotiators. Firms value these skills more and more so that they can undertake more work in-house, and they therefore require their future trainees to work hard at them as well as the more established solicitor skills. The LPC therefore requires you to complete a number of skills assessments for which our law tutor is waiting to help you with any:

  • Advocacy: Skeleton Arguments, Applications for summary judgment, No Case to Answer, Strike Out and Relief from Sanctions

  • Interviewing and Advising: Preparing Questions, Attendance Note and Case Analysis

  • Legal Drafting: Particulars of Claim, Defence, Counterclaims and Schedule of loss.

  • Legal Writing: Legal Advice Writing, Advice, Letters to Client and Memos to Supervisor with Advice

  • Practical Legal Research: Legal Research, and Research Trail.

Because our law tutor is a legal skill academic and lawyer, and has the practical experience necessary to help you get the best out of your legal training and the law tutor has completed the Bar Course and worked as a solicitor to help you on the LPC.

ELECTIVES

Electives give LPC candidates the opportunity to cake courses in subjects in which they are actually interested and which will benefit their chosen careers. This interest does not always translate into aptitude and many LPC candidates tell us that they actually find the electives more difficult than the core modules. This is because the aspects which drew them to the chosen subject were more abstract - and the legal professional courses are anything but abstract. The course is designed to ensure that you hit your training contract on the ground running. Electives are always assessed with written essay based questions and tasks. Because our law tutor has a diverse legal knowledge and practical experience this will allow him to both understand the specifics whilst seeing the bigger picture. Our specialist tutor is comfortable to help with:

  • Advanced Commercial Litigation

  • Advanced Civil Litigation

  • Advanced Criminal Litigation

  • Employment Law

  • Intellectual Property and Commercial Law - Media and Entertainment Law

  • Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence

  • Private Client (Wills, Probate and Estate Planning)

THE SUPPORT

You may be looking to raise your current grade by an entire category, or you may just be interested in doing so. By reviewing and analysing past test problems, we help students hone their own writing abilities. Students gain from this method because they are better able to complete their assignments and because they have access to examples they have created themselves.
