This module will equip you with advanced knowledge and understanding of the techniques required for advanced legal research. It has a dual purpose.

The Brexit vote led to an increase in revenue and hiring of law firms, which boosted the popularity of UK law schools. But LL.M. programs are generally not qualified to practice law in the UK. Here`s what you need to do to qualify for a master`s degree, students must also complete a thesis, live project, or internship. Upon successful completion of the course, you will then have to sign a two-year training contract in order to practise as a lawyer. Design your own learning path and accelerate your legal career with our Master of Laws (LLM) postgraduate degree. Daniel studied for his Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at Nottingham Trent University, but chose Birmingham City University for his LPC because of our reputation and because we offer options in relation to the area of law in which he wishes to practise.

Between obtaining his Bachelor of Laws and founding his LPC, Daniel worked at a law firm for a year. During this time, he realized that he wanted to become a lawyer and that he needed to complete the LPC as a step towards that goal. During your LLM year at City, you can enroll in an additional non-credit course to prepare you for the New York or California bar exams, which are becoming increasingly popular for those who wish to practice internationally or work for a US company in the UK. Lawyers often provide legal advice to clients during times of extreme stress such as arrest, divorce, relocation or bereavement. They also represent clients in corporate or commercial transactions. As a lawyer, you can work with other lawyers in a law firm or start your own practice, or you can work in central or local government, an in-house legal department, the Crown Prosecution Service or the Magistrates` Courts. The LLM Legal Practice is a challenging course and is a leap forward from your undergraduate studies. The LPC element of the course is much more focused on the practical aspects of law and the aim of the course is to ensure that you can enter practice with the skills and knowledge required to start the field. You are expected to follow the background reading and preparation of the lessons, and treat the course as if you were already covering a client`s case. This module will provide you with in-depth knowledge of key legal, practical and procedural issues relevant to a commercial real estate practitioner, including the acquisition of land for development and subsequent sale of units in development, development finance, planning and environmental issues. The module also builds on students` knowledge of commercial leases from an earlier course in the course and delves deeper into the key terms of leases and the subsequent granting and sale of leases. The Level 1 compulsory area contributes to the delivery of LPC outcomes and program objectives by encouraging students to participate in realistic practical exercises to prepare them for on-the-job learning and equipping the student with the fundamental skills and knowledge for the practice of wills and estate administration.
