Glossary
The SQE has its own vocabulary, and understanding it is the first step to navigating the qualification route with confidence. This glossary covers the key terms across SQE1, SQE2, the exam process, and English legal practice — from FLK1 and QWE to advocacy and the threshold standard. Search by keyword, filter by category, or browse alphabetically. Where a term connects to a dedicated guide, we have linked it directly.

Solicitor #
A qualified legal professional admitted to the Roll of Solicitors maintained by the SRA, entitled to provide legal advice and represent clients in legal proceedings in England and Wales.
Solicitor Apprenticeship #
A route to qualification as a solicitor that combines work-based learning with academic study, allowing candidates to complete their degree and QWE simultaneously while being employed by a law firm.

Rules governing how solicitors must handle client money, including requirements for separate client accounts, the prohibition on mixing client and office funds, and record-keeping obligations. Tested in SQE1 FLK2.

The independent regulatory body for solicitors in England and Wales. The SRA designed the SQE, sets the threshold standard, appoints Kaplan as the assessment centre, and maintains the Roll of Solicitors.
Specific Performance #
An equitable remedy requiring a party to perform their contractual obligations, typically ordered where damages would be an inadequate remedy (most commonly in contracts for the sale of land). Tested in Contract Law and Equity modules of SQE1.
SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) #
The centralised qualification assessment introduced by the SRA in September 2021, replacing the LPC and QLTS as the route to becoming a solicitor in England and Wales. It consists of SQE1 (knowledge) and SQE2 (skills) stages.
SQE Prep & Practice (Oxford University Press) #
A digital SQE self-study subscription published by Oxford University Press. It combines online textbooks covering the FLK1 and FLK2 syllabus with chapter-level multiple-choice questions and full-length SQE1 mock exams, delivered through a browser-based learning platform rather than as printed volumes. Content is revised on an annual cycle to track SRA syllabus changes.
It is a knowledge and question-bank resource, not an SRA-authorised training course: it carries no exam exemptions and does not count towards Qualifying Work Experience.
SQE Self-Study #
Preparing for the SQE using textbooks, question banks and mock exams without enrolling on a taught preparation course. The SRA does not require candidates to complete any preparation course before sitting the assessments, so self-study is a fully valid route to qualification.
The trade-off is that the SQE preparation market is unregulated: the SRA authorises neither providers nor materials, so the syllabus accuracy, currency and question quality of self-study resources vary widely and remain the candidate’s own risk to assess.
SQE1 #
The first stage of the SQE, consisting of two written papers (FLK1 and FLK2), each containing 180 single-best-answer multiple-choice questions. SQE1 assesses Functioning Legal Knowledge across all core areas of English law.
SQE2 #
The second stage of the SQE, assessing five legal skills — client interview and attendance note, advocacy, legal research, legal writing, and legal drafting — through a combination of role-plays and written tasks.
SQE2 1 to 1 Mock Exams #
Private 1-to-1 classes designed to replicate the real exam experience across all SQE2 practice areas and assessment stations.
- Full coverage of all SQE2 stations (e.g. advocacy, interview, research, writing, drafting, CMA)
- Personalised feedback from specially trained tutors – solicitors and professional interviewers
- Strong focus on quality – each session, marking, and feedback is delivered with care and typically involves at least 1 academic hour of detailed review
- Advanced digital delivery via the SUPERexam LMS, including dedicated classrooms and marking tools
These mocks are designed not only to assess performance but to train you to meet and exceed the SQE2 marking criteria.
SQE2 Basic Course #
is a skills based structured course timeline where tasks are organised in a specific, logical sequence, allowing aspiring solicitors to follow the training flow step by step.
The course focuses on core SQE2 skills preparation through a combination of theoretical guidance and practical training, including skills lectures, written mocks for self-practice, and oral group mocks.
Importantly, a substantial amount of law revision is embedded within the written mock bundles, ensuring that practical exercises are complemented by solid legal revision, targeted explanations, and clarification of common areas of confusion.
This approach allows candidates to revise the law while applying it, rather than treating revision and skills practice as separate activities.
SQE2 LPC Package #
The LPC SQE2 Package is a specialised preparation programme designed exclusively for candidates who have completed the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and are transitioning to the Solicitors Qualifying Examination route.
It recognises that LPC graduates already possess substantial legal knowledge and practical training, but require targeted preparation to adapt to the SQE2 exam format, which assesses candidates at the level of a day-one solicitor rather than a trainee.
At the Academy of Smart Lawyers, this package was developed by founders who are themselves LPC graduates, based on their own experience transitioning to the SQE and supporting their friends and colleagues through the same process.
The programme is not theoretical – it is a practical, experience-driven pathway designed to address the challenges LPC graduates face in SQE2. The LPC SQE2 Package builds on either: the Basic SQE2 Package or SQE2 Resit Course, with additional benefits:
✔ Includes 1-to-1 mock sessions with solicitor-level feedback (at a higher discounted rate)
✔ Full law revision included at no additional cost
Stare Decisis #
The doctrine of precedent, requiring courts to follow the decisions of higher courts in the same hierarchy. Stare decisis is a core concept within the Legal System module of SQE1 FLK1.
Statement of Truth #
A declaration signed by a party or their representative confirming that the contents of a document are true to the best of their knowledge and belief. Required on statements of case and witness statements in civil litigation.
Statutory Interpretation #
The methods used by courts to determine the meaning of legislation, including the literal, golden, and mischief rules, as well as the purposive approach. Tested within the Legal System subject area of SQE1 FLK1.
T
Tax (SQE) #
The Taxation module in SQE1 FLK2 covers income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, stamp duty land tax, and VAT — focusing on their application in the context of property transactions, wills, and business dealings.
Threshold Standard #
The minimum level of competence a newly qualified solicitor must demonstrate to pass the SQE. Pass marks are set by assessors applying the threshold standard to each sitting, meaning the pass mark may vary slightly between sittings.
Tort #
An area of civil law covering civil wrongs, including negligence, occupiers’ liability, nuisance, the rule in Rylands v Fletcher, and defamation. Tort is assessed as a standalone subject in SQE1 FLK1.
Training Contract #
The two-year period of supervised practice that was the traditional route to solicitor qualification under the LPC system. Training contracts have been replaced by the more flexible QWE requirement under the SQE regime.
Trust #
A legal arrangement in which one person (the trustee) holds property for the benefit of another (the beneficiary). The law of trusts is assessed within Equity and Trusts in SQE1 FLK1 and arises in Probate and Tax scenarios in FLK2.
U
Unfair Prejudice Petition #
A remedy available to minority shareholders who have been treated unfairly by those in control of a company. Tested within Company Law under the Business Law and Practice module of SQE1 FLK1.
V

Without Prejudice #
A legal privilege that protects communications made in a genuine attempt to settle a dispute from being disclosed or used as evidence in court proceedings. The without prejudice rule is assessed in the Dispute Resolution module of SQE1 FLK1.
Witness Statement #
A written document setting out the evidence a witness will give at trial. Drafting and evaluating witness statements is relevant to Civil Litigation in SQE1 and may feature in SQE2 written tasks and advocacy preparation.
Written Standards (SQE2) #
The criteria applied by SQE2 assessors when marking written tasks, including accuracy of legal content, structure and presentation, appropriate use of language, and compliance with professional obligations.
