Built by legal leaders and education experts

We combine deep legal expertise, smart technology and extensive experience building legal education resources, to consolidate the core functioning legal knowledge required by the SRA into easily-digestible, bite-sized chunks.

Vibrant animated videos

Consolidate your learning with our bite-sized, animated video summaries of each topic, specifically designed to explain the more complex concepts in simple, engaging ways.

Sophisticated mind maps and impactful flowcharts

We've collaborated with designers to create innovative visuals that clarify complex steps and processes, highlight key information, and make functioning legal knowledge stick.

Colour-coded explanations

Expertly-structured lessons that highlight essential definitions, illustrative worked examples, and insider insights into how concepts actually work in practice.

Exam-true practice questions

Challenging chapter-specific, course-specific and SQE-wide practice "single best answer" multiple choice questions to test your understanding, each with comprehensive explanations of why answers are correct or incorrect.

Countless SQE mock exams

Take an almost infinite number of practice SQE exams covering FLK1 and FLK2 content (complete with full reports of your scores and individual answers), using our randomised question bank to test yourself over and over again.

AI-powered closed captions

All our course videos come with automatic closed captions, promoting greater accessibility, attention, comprehension, and retention.

Track your progress

Easily pick up where you left off, with our platform tracking the courses and lessons you’ve completed as you go.

The power of visual learning

Visual storytelling in lessons can boost information retention by 30%, and reduce cognitive load by 35% for complex subjects. This is why we’ve invested thousands of hours in creating hundreds of beautifully crafted animated videos, mind maps and diagrams.

The human touch

Our materials have generally been through 5+ rounds of meticulous review by human legal experts. If you're looking for generic AI-produced information dumps (with the ever-present risk of hallucinations and inaccuracies), plus videos delivered by robotic avatars, we're definitely not the platform for you.

Coming soon...

We're currently working on a whole host of additional features to enhance your learning experience. We plan to launch the following in 2026, so watch this space (and lock in our founder member pricing for life, whilst you can)!

  • SQE1

    The remaining SQE1 courses: Dispute Resolution, Criminal Liability, Criminal Law and Practice, and Wills and the Administration of Estates.

  • SQE2

    Client interview and attendance note/legal analysis, advocacy, case and matter analysis, legal research, legal writing, and legal drafting.

  • AI-powered pocket tutor

    Your very own personal study companion to answer your academic questions and help you navigate our resources.

  • Timed mock SQE exams

    We're revamping our multiple choice question functionality to better reflect the SRA's timed exam conditions.

  • Phone app

    We'll hopefully be launching a dedicated phone app so you can study more easily on-the-go.

What our users say about us...

Rosa Gamble (Senior Paralegal)

I am thrilled to have passed both SQE1 papers in the first quintile. Law Student Academy was a huge help during my studies - the MCQs, video explanations, and progress tracking helped me structure my revision effectively and made it easy to identify where I needed to focus my studies. I would definitely recommend the platform for anyone preparing for the SQE.

Lara Eastaugh (Future trainee, Bird & Bird)

Starting the SQE can be very daunting and overwhelming with the sheer volume of information you have to learn in such a short amount of time. However, Law Student Academy has made all of the content so much more accessible and digestible, especially to someone like myself who comes from a non-law background. The amount and range of MCQs available on the site is crucial when it comes to consolidation - in all, the site has made a massive difference to my preparation for the SQE1

Samantha Howlett (Solicitor, Fisher Jones Greenwood)

Love the variation between styles of learning (videos, mind maps etc.), great number of MCQs, really easy to navigate, and the information is clear, set out well, and explained thoroughly.

Abi Cooper (Future trainee, Mishcon de Reya)

I’ve really enjoyed using the platform, it’s clear, concise, and easy to follow. I love how the videos go through the content before moving on to questions to consolidate it, and the mind maps are super helpful for visualising key concepts. It’s much more condensed than a lot of textbooks out there, which makes it perfect for revising efficiently.

Syeda Ahmed (SQE student, Barbri)

Law Student Academy proved invaluable for my SQE 1 preparation. There was a combination of comprehensive topic summaries with clear examples, engaging animated lectures, and an extensive bank of realistic MCQs targeted to reinforce each subject area. This perfectly broke down even the most complex topics into something manageable. I found the summaries and practical examples especially valuable, as they bridged the gap between theory and real-world application. It gave me the structure, confidence, and clarity I needed to approach the exam with focus.

Valdemar Gruzevski (SQE 1 student, Uni of Law)

Really comprehensive and condensed platform to quickly and effectively brush up on SQE knowledge. Truly in Commercial Law Academy's style - maximum knowledge in a short form!

Dr Will Kitchen (Associate Lecturer, AUB

For students who go above and beyond to prepare for the SQE, the Law Student Academy offers an engaging, targeted and comprehensive revision platform. I found that each module included focussed video lectures, text summaries, mind maps and glossaries to support a variety of learning styles, and also helped me expand my background legal knowledge by providing direct links to relevant legislation. The Academy provides valuable tools for the SQE revision toolbox.

Ronak Rodrigues

I love the mind maps, the SBAQ difficulty is perfect, and the explanations very thorough.

Nicholas Barnett (passed SQE1 first time)

Law Student Academy is a serious contender for the place of top SQE revision platform. It is comprehensive in its coverage of the SQE specification without being overly obtuse, breaking down key concepts into digestible segments. The interface is particularly user-friendly, making it easy to cross-reference between related topics and access additional practical resources. It also caters to a variety of learning styles with the inclusion of introductory videos, flowcharts, and examples of practical application of legal knowledge. Crucially, it includes an ample amount of MCQs which are reflective of the difficulty of the SRA’s exam questions and provides detailed feedback in relation to single-best-choice answers. It is also accessible, offering real value for money in the context of a qualification route which is becoming increasingly expensive. I would recommend these materials to any aspiring solicitor looking to undertake the SQE route.

Ben Peacock (Future trainee, BCLP)

The SQE revision materials have really helped me in my preparation for SQE1. They have given me more confidence in my ability to answer multiple choice questions. This is particularly due to the number of MCQs provided as part of the resource and the explanations which break down the reasoning as to which answer is the correct one in an easy to understand way.
