The course will help develop a trainee’s knowledge of the law and procedures from a range of selected pathways (see below). The course is also designed to help trainees develop their skills in setting out legal research strategies. This includes taking instructions from clients and offering legal advice, analysing and evaluating data to inform strategies and decision making in legal casework and drafting and producing legal documents using precedents and other documents.
Trainees will also complete the mandatory CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ) as part of the apprenticeship, which provides them with a greater knowledge of different areas of practice before specialising in their chosen pathway.
