Distinctive features of the course include: Highly experienced and approachable lecturers who are all qualified solicitors or barristers.. Small, interactive group work, allowing you to benefit from individual guidance and help.. All sessions are set within a balanced timetable to replicate the tasks undertaken in practice.. A broad range of Stage 2 electives, reflecting areas of practice from high-street to city firms.. The opportunity to undertake real client legal work under the supervision of tutors working in the Student Law Centre. The focus is on experiential learning through reflection, analysis and planning.. A mentoring scheme which pairs you with mentors working in an area you are interested in. Our mentors are predominantly former Westminster LPC students who are now working in an area of legal practice.. The course is taught at Westminster Law School's recently refurbished state-of-the-art premises in the heart of London's West End and within the vicinity of many law firms.
