Written Skills in Criminal Litigation is an SQE2 revision guide for the SQE2 legal skills specification. It demonstrates how you will be assessed at SQE2 in the legal skills of Case and Matter Analysis, Legal Research, Legal Writing and Legal Drafting, in the context of Criminal Litigation. The book makes clear links to SQE1 Functioning Legal Knowledge to help you understand how the law you learnt in SQE1 can be applied in practice, and there are SQE2-style sample questions to build your confidence in answering assessment questions.
Each chapter contains an introductory section, followed by two SQE2-style practice questions with sample answers, and detailed commentary illustrating how the answers compare to the SRA's competency requirements.
