About Law and Criminal Justice, LLB (Hons) - at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU)

Many of your tutors have professional frontline experience of working either within the law as solicitors or barristers or within the criminal justice system, with international reputations for research and writing, giving you a solid grounding in both areas.

While this course prepares you for a career in the legal profession, it also develops vital personal skills in teamwork, communication, writing and time management, so that you are more than ready to face the challenges of a range of careers should you decide that law isn’t for you.

This School has an enviable record in national debating and mediation competitions and we have an active and friendly law society, which provides an ideal opportunity to build contacts for future work placements.

We encourage you to organise a placement for your final year as it will give you vital experience of how the law or criminal justice system work in practice. For the same reasons, we recommend that you undertake some form of voluntary work during your time at LJMU and/or apply to take part in the School's Erasmus programme to see how legal systems work in another country.

As the course progresses, the modules become more focused on preparing you to work in the legal or criminal justice systems, and in your final year you will be able to specialise in the areas that interest you most, whether they be vocational or more abstract topics.
