... Northumbria University Newcastle

Course Overview

In a demanding and rapidly changing legal landscape, the highest quality training is required to succeed as a barrister. Northumbria Universitys Bar Course LLM will support you in acquiring the necessary knowledge and practical skills crucial to practice at the modern Bar. Northumbrias approach to Bar training replicates professional practice more closely than ever. You will study: 1. Civil Litigation (incorporating evidence and Alternative Dispute Resolution) 2. Criminal Litigation (incorporating evidence and sentencing) 3. Advocacy 4. Conferencing 5. Drafting 6. Opinion Writing 7. Legal Research 8. Professional Ethics The Bar Course LLM will apply your knowledge and skills to practice in a broad range of briefs focused upon the foundational areas of pupillage and early practice - family, civil and criminal law. You will develop your skills in Advocacy, Conferencing, Drafting, and Opinion Writing within the simulated context of these briefs, and this invaluable, practical experience will equip you to be immediately effective in pupillage. A Masters in Law offers you the opportunity to enhance your profile and experience by gaining an internationally recognized LLM qualification in addition to your Bar Course. At Northumbria we offer Bar students two possible routes to the LLM Project qualification: a traditional dissertation focusing on the in-depth critical examination of a substantive area of law of your choice of between 10,000 €“ 15,000 words; or a combination of clinical experience gained in the Student Law Office, together with an extended piece of written work of between 8,000 and 10,000 words (SLO Bar Project). Through your LLM Project, you will develop professional skills necessary for practice, expanding on your legal knowledge, your legal application, and your ability to critically analyze and reflect on law, practice, and policy. In an increasingly competitive market, this offers you an additional pathway to differentiate your qualification and to enhance your future employability. Northumbrias Bar Course LLM is led by a team of highly experienced barristers and supported by our well-established network of guest speakers including members of the Bar, Judges, and other relevant professionals, including forensic scientists.
