I really enjoyed the amount of advocacy we got to do, and that’s something that’s really spurred me on and put me in good stead for pupillage.
Our BTC with Professional Legal Studies provides you with an alternative way to study for the Bar, starting with a foundation term focusing on the fundamental skills of litigation, giving you longer to prepare for the high stakes BSB assessments.
