LPC Skills Online is an interactive online product which helps students get to grips with the skills they need to master in order to achieve success on the Legal Practice Course. The web site is divided into distinct areas dedicated to each of the skills on which students are assessed:-
Accompanied by a short text which outlines the key principles behind the skills and gives examples from practice, this all-in-one resource offers students an intensely practical and interactive environment in which to develop their skills.
Reviewed by the Law Society and LPC tutors throughout its development, this resource is ideal for any LPC student or LPC lecturer who wants to provide their students with an innovative and engaging way to develop their skills.
What's available in the text?
The short text is structured to mirror the online resource and includes important background information, including key principles and examples. Students are also given important advice on how to use the Reflective Diary effectively.
For Practical Legal Research, the text is used to set out research problems; the online resource then includes exercises testing the rigour of the research the student has completed. Skills are the most practical element of the LPC, and in recognition of this, the authors have placed the emphasis of this product on the online component as it offers the student a more interactive experience.
The key attraction of this resource is that it encourages students to actively practice the skills required on the LPC, rather than simply read about them passively.
