Law books

Our law books are written by a former law professor and barrister. They are a complete set of law notes that meet the needs of the SQE assessment specification, the CILEX qualification framework, and the LLB programme at the University of London. But the law books are helpful for people taking law classes at any university or taking the LLB, SQE, CILEX, PGDL, GDL, or UOL law exams.
