Full Description
This text takes into account the "Written Standards" published by the Law Society. It addresses all the skills that are integral to the modern solicitors' practice and introduces students to the theory underpinning these skills. It is supported by reflective exercises and examples from practice. Importantly, the methodology employed allows students to continue their learning beyond the Legal Practice Course. This new edition has been fully revised and updated so that students are aware of all recent developments in the subject.
