Law (Clinical Learning) LLB Hons

The degree will introduce you to technical legal topics and help you to understand the ways that law shapes society. Practical experience is at the heart of this degree, with all three years of your degree involving hands-on legal work allowing you to develop the practical skills and competences of a lawyer. The degree takes a problem-based learning approach, centered on real case-work and advising clients. You will use a wide range of professional and academic skills to provide legal advice to your clients.

There are two ‘tracks’ within this degree.

• You can choose to work in the Law School’s Law Clinic, providing free legal advice to members of the community. In the Clinic, local practitioners will supervise you in delivering the appropriate legal advice to your clients. On this track, you are required to take either a Law Clinic, Legal Advice or Miscarriages of Justice module in each year.
• Alternatively, you may have the option of working with North Lancashire Citizen’s Advice Bureau throughout your degree. You would provide legal advice and support to clients who come to the Citizens Advice Bureau for help and would have the opportunity to gain official recognition as a CAB advisor. On this track, you are required to take a CAB module in each year.
