Our law clinic is a fully regulated solicitors' practice where you work under supervision on real cases from first interview to county court or employment tribunal, as appropriate. It gives you an insight into the pressures and demands of the legal profession. Places are limited. For more information see http://www.shu.ac.uk/law/clinic Law in practice You can apply to spend one day each week with a legal service provider to gain invaluable experience within a professional setting. It is often in a solicitor's office working on real life cases. Innocence project UK programme You can apply to work on a real case of an alleged miscarriage of justice.

This develops your research and presentation skills. Mooting Being able to advocate is an essential part of a solicitor, or barrister's career. We run two modules where you represent fictitious clients in a mock trial, usually on a matter of civil law. This takes place in our new moot court. We have a very active Mooting and Debating Society and members take part in both internal and national competitions. In 2009 we beat over 60 university law schools to win the final of the Oxford University Press (OUP)/BPP National Mooting Competition. It is possible for you to study part-time during the day.
