Comments from people who have done these courses..... How to Purchase
Study One - Parliament and the Legislative Process
The processes of Parliament are available on the web, including current Bills, the stage they have reached, Parliamentary Committees and Hansard. Acts since 1966 are also available and S.I.'s. We also look at the new Statute Law Database.Study Two - Government Online
Most Government bodies are now online and some of the web sites are very extensive; the main Directgov site is examined as well as the Ministry of Justice and Her Majesty's Court Service. The Government is committed to providing a large proportion of its interactions with businesses and individuals online over the next few years.Study Three - Free Sources for Legal Research Online
This Study looks at the free case law and current awareness sources available to lawyers which are available without charge from publishers, journals, courts and other legal bodies. In particular, it covers the very useful site of the British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII).Study Four - Publishers' Sources for Legal Research Online
The study covers the most important subscription sources of legal research material available from the legal publishers online. The student can register for a free trial of one of these, as part of the study.Study Five - Practice Management Online
Until quite recently, most firms and chambers have assumed that they will run their own practice management system on their own premises. This is however beginning to change with a new breed of practice management systems which can be run online. This study looks at the pros and cons of "Software as a Service".
Earn your CPD!
The Studies qualify for 5 CPD hours from the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board.Please note that, due to increasingly stringent requirements from these bodies, there is now a simple test required for this course.
The questions are not on substantive issues of the law but are just designed to check that you have indeed gone
through the materials as required and have visited some of the main legal web sites described.
I am happy to accept orders by email - just give me your name, firm/chambers,
postal address and phone number and I will send you the printed part of the
material with an invoice. (You use the printed material together with a special
area of my web site to do the Studies).
