SQE2 Live 1:1 Mock
Solicitors' Feedback and Guidance

Up to Six Client Interviews per Month. Participate in realistic client interviews six times a month, focusing on Property Practice or Probate. These sessions are designed to mirror real-world scenarios, providing you with hands-on experience in managing client interactions.

Professional Role-Playing. From the moment you join the Live meeting, step into the role of a newly qualified solicitor. Maintain a professional demeanour throughout the session, demonstrating your ability to handle real-life legal situations with confidence and competence.

Skill Demonstration and Development. In a 25-minute interview, showcase your ability to establish and maintain effective client relationships. Practise asking appropriate questions, collecting all relevant facts, and providing accurate initial advice. This exercise ensures you are equipped with the essential skills required for a successful legal career.

Regular Court Pleadings. Up to six times a month, you will undertake court pleadings before an assessor playing the judge’s role. This frequent practice is designed to build your confidence and proficiency in court advocacy.

Detailed Skills Assessment. From the very first moment you join the meeting, the judge will pay close attention to your language, behaviour, arguments, persuasiveness, and legal knowledge. The judge may ask questions about your submissions, ranging from simple questions of law to more challenging inquiries if your performance is already satisfactory.

Real Exam Conditions. You will be assessed based on the SRA criteria, ensuring that the experience is as authentic as possible. You will be given 45 minutes of preparation time for either a Dispute Resolution or Criminal Practice Advocacy, followed by 15 minutes to present your submissions. This structure mirrors the actual exam conditions, helping you become fully prepared and confident for the real client interview exam.

You won’t know which area of law you will be assessed on until you receive the Mock! Men are expected to wear a suit, while women are expected to wear professional attire.

Areas of Assessment. Whether it is Case and Matter Analysis, Research, Drafting, or Legal Writing, you will be carefully assessed on your legal writing skills following the exact SRA criteria.

Time Allocation. For each of the mocks, you will be given the exact amount of time as you will have on the exam day:
‍Legal Writing: 30 minutes
Research: 1 hour
Case and Matter Analysis: 1 hour

Written Performance Report. After each mock, you will receive a written report on your performance. This report will contain grades for each relevant skill assessed. The grading scale includes:

Identify Strengths and Weaknesses. This feedback will allow you to clearly identify your strengths and weaknesses, helping you to focus on areas for improvement in the next mock. Performances are replayed and reviewed rigorously ensuring that you receive comprehensive insights.

Diligent and Rigorous Assessment. Our feedback is not only thorough but also meticulously detailed, ensuring that every aspect of your performance is evaluated rigorously. This approach ensures that you receive comprehensive insights into your skills and areas needing improvement.

Importance of Feedback for Progress. Feedback is crucial for your progress. However, simply telling you what you did wrong is not enough; we also show you how to achieve a superior grade by explaining exactly what was expected.

Flexible and Comprehensive Practice. Students have six Live sessions each month and can decide which assessments they want to focus on.

This flexibility ensures you can tailor your practice to your specific needs and areas for improvement.

Cleo, your smart Study Programmer, will ensure you pick the best possible combination for an effective progression and preparation.

Superior to Other Providers. Unlike other course providers such as the University of Law, which only offers one oral mock a week before the exam, or Barbri, which provides around six assessments in total, we provide six or more assessments every month. This continuous and frequent practice ensures that you are consistently improving and gaining confidence in your skills.
