Hi! I have a first class law degree from King’s College London and a Masters (LLM) degree from UCL. I am currently a future trainee in a city law firm. Last year I had the experience of teaching first year undergrads in contract law at King’s. I was also a coach in the international Jessup Moot for two years, with this role likewise having a heavy teaching and mentoring element.
In both learning the law myself and teaching others, it is very important to me to clearly understand the key rules and the logic underlining them. What this means in practice is trying to abstract simple and clear tests and rules from sometimes complex and messy law, and get a feel for how it operates. Once you have that clarity in your mind you are extremely unlikely to make any fundamental errors. Case law is ever important in any area of English law. Therefore, I am enthusiastic to help with the analysis and understanding of cases. One thing that will always impress your professors, markers or interviewers is the ability to distinguish cases and explain different rationales. That is another thing I focus on in my teaching. Finally, a big part of being a lawyer is legal writing. Mastering the skill of writing good essays and answering problem questions takes time (I definitely didn’t know what I was doing in my first year). Over time, you learn what makes a good essay and how to score those high marks - clarity and precision in combination with depth and originality. I am happy to help anyone starting with legal writing to improve their skills with several simple and easy to implement tips.
