Lecture: SQE 1- Criminal Practice & Procedure

Criminal Practice Course

This course provides participants with the core legal principles and rules to be tested by the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) Functioning Legal Knowledge assessment. It covers the fundamental rules relating to criminal practice from the commission of the criminal offence, through to the investigation and charge of the offence, and the trial process. In particular, the course will consider the law, procedure and processes involved in advising a client at the police station, pre-trial considerations and magistrates’ court and Crown Court trials, including sentencing and appeals. Students will be able to learn and test their knowledge through the use of SQE style multiple choice questions, with practical examples demonstrating the application of the law in a MOCK WORKSHOP to follow this lecture on 14 May 2023.
