In this course I will be giving you a step-by-step guide on how to write an academic legal essay for examination purposes. As I go through the steps to build content in the essay, I will also go through some of the details of the topics in question so that you will not just learn how to write an academic essay for the given topic, but also refresh or learn the contents of the topic again. After going through the content guide of any given essay answer, I will then endeavour to provide you with a sample essay on the question that we have gone through. I will also then guide you through the essay itself, explaining the intricacies of each paragraph so that you can get an idea on how to write your own legal academic essay.

This course will be suitable for anyone looking to prepare themselves for their written law examinations. The course is suitable for those doing their UK legal degrees or Cambridge A Level Law (9084) examinations. Although my course is designed for A Level Law students, but the whole academic-writing tutorial will be suitable for anyone who is looking to write an academic essay for law.
