Open‑Book Assessments that Reflect Real Legal Work

Instead of classical question/answer exams, the programme uses open‑book assessments. This approach mirrors real practice, where lawyers research, interpret, and apply sources to craft persuasive, well‑reasoned arguments.

You’ll be assessed on analysis, structure, evidence, and judgment. Open‑book formats reward critical thinking and legal strategy—precisely the skills that matter in negotiations, transactions, and disputes.
