Recitals 

This Booking Policy, as may be amended from time to time, applies to the series of the SQE live lectures, SQE2 seminars and Demo interviews and, and is used in addition to the Terms and Conditions, Privacy policy, and Price Policy. Where inconsistent with the Terms and Conditions and Price Policy, this Booking Policy shall prevail.

1. Streaming service description 

Legal theatre® – are live-streamed group sessions of three forms: Demo interview, Advocacy, Case and Matter Analysis, Live lectures, SQE2 seminars (jointly referred as “Services”).

A. DEMO MOCK

The service is live streaming of a Client Interview, Advocacy, Case and Matter Analysis which includes a scheduled real-time video session and accompanying materials (jointly referred to as ‘Materials’). Aside from the interaction between the panel candidate and the tutors-assessors, the session is non-interactive and does not involve input from the audience. Before the session, attendees receive candidate instructions similar to those in the SQE2 exam.

(i) Client Interview – in the event, more information will be disclosed by  the client. The interview is conducted by an SQE2 candidate who is not familiar with the scenario and has not been specifically prepared for the session. After the session, attendees will receive a fact sheet and a tentative suggested answer to illustrate how the case could be analysed in the attendance note. One day after the scheduled end date, the attendees will receive a follow-up email with the above Materials. Please be advised to follow the scenario and take notes of the questions you would ask the client should you conduct the interview yourself. SQE2 candidates are also advised to draft a handwritten attendance note after the session. You will be able to check the facts and answers against provided Materials. 

(ii) Advocacy session – criminal or civil litigation advocacy submissions, delivered by an SQE2 candidate and followed by feedback from a judge-solicitor, including indicative marks. The candidates are given a full case bundle similar to the exam well in advance. SQE2 candidates are also advised to perform the advocacy after the session for self-training.

(iii) Case and Matter Analysis – Candidates are provided with a scenario and attachments well in advance. They are expected to review the materials and draft their answers at their own pace. Afterwards, the aspiring solicitors will attend an interactive live session, where a solicitor-assessor will analyse the suggested answer and guide the students on the correct approach to the exercise.

PLEASE NOTE, THE ATTENDEES SHALL NOT BE PROVIDED WITH THE VIDEO RECORD.

Being convinced that the attendees may benefit from watching both the candidate’s good performance and the mistakes made, we may intentionally challenge the candidate.

B. SQE1 LIVE REVISION LECTURES

You are entering into an agreement to attend Our lecture series on English law. The lectures are designed to: cover law updates, analyse multiple choice questions, and address exam techniques. These sessions typically range from 1 to 2 academic hours, depending on the volume of materials. The lectures occur monthly and are usually focused on a specific subject or a group of related subjects. Students can submit questions in advance and during the session, with priority given to questions submitted in advance via the Eventroom.

Note: Your questions should be within the scope of the SQE exam and should not be offensive or absurd in nature. If your question is already covered by our recorded lectures, we reserve the right to simply refer you to watch the lecture.

Schedule

The lectures are held monthly through the year. Since many of you follow your own study plans and may sit the exam at different times, we have divided all subjects into six groups. Even though each lecture is formally dedicated to a particular subject, we will also cover other subjects within the group, and you may submit your questions for each of them.

The schedule of the lectures for each stream is displayed on the website. We reserve the right to make changes in the dates and subjects if required. We understand the importance of planning ahead, and will only resort to this in case of dire necessity.

Agenda

Live Revision Lecture agenda (1-2 academic hours):

1. Considerations of the law updates and questions submitted in advance.
2. Analysis of the SQE1 multiple-choice questions and exam techniques.
3. Answering your Qs&As, subject to time availability.

Preparation

Aspiring solicitors should already be familiar with the subjects of the session, either through independent studies or by having access to our SQE1 Recorded lectures. Students can identify questions on the lecture topics they didn’t understand and prepare their questions for the lecturers by submitting them through an online platform. Please also review specific instructions for each individual revision lecture.
