Reflection on semester 1 of the LPC!

Soo I've completed semester 1 and will be receiving my grades in the next week or so!

This semester i studied Family law, advanced legal skills(SRA codes/ethics), business and tax law, property law and clinic!

Here's a quick run down of them all!

Family law

The content was soo interesting! I wasn't sure if I'd like it but I really enjoyed learning about private/public law children and the different options available!

Business and tax law

Where do I even start ... again with property law the content wasn't hard but I missed a lot of work being ill. When I did catch up I understood it all and think I did well-ish on the assessment!

I was dreading tax but honestly the lecturer was sooo good at explaining and breaking everything down! I'm soo bad with maths but he made it all make sense and I fle thoigh the exam ( and passed!!!)

Property law

This was a bit of a miss for me, I missed a lot of work as I had a three week long migraine which wasn't fun but the lecturer for the modules and clinic is amazing so I wasn't struggling too much as she's soo good at explaining things and has a lot of proactive workshops which was so helpful.

The connect itself was 'hard' there was sjit a lot if you didn't stay ontop of it - which I didn't due to being ill.

Clinic

I honestly wish I did clinic in third year I absolutely love it! I was soo nervous at the start of the year but as times in in and I've world in my first real case I felt really good! There has been soo many challenges- most to do with me not having trust in myself but I am looking forward to the rest of the semester!

Advanced legal skills

This was such a good milder looking at the SRA codes and principles.

The exam was pretty stressful as I didn't really know what to write to make the answers longer but I'm hoping to get a pass!

I'll be doing an update on my stories for if I passed ... or didn't🥲

UPDATE - I got 2 merits and 2 distinctions - I'm honestly over the moon! Despite January being the worst time personally I definitely thrived in the circumstances and soo shocked and proud.
