All sessions take place virtually via our virtual events platform. Some are view-only with students able to interact via the chat; in others students are encouraged to interact by sharing their audio and video.
Case study exercises are set by ULaw, with model answers supplied at the end of the Scheme.
You are encouraged to attend all sessions but we appreciate you may have some other commitments to balance. Students who attend all of the sessions receive a certificate at the end of the Scheme.
