What's Covered


ABOUT THE BOOKS
 

SQE Study Notes are concise, exam-focused revision guides designed to help candidates master the substantive and procedural law required for the SQE1 assessments. Written to reflect the Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK1 and FLK2) specification, the notes focus only on what you need to know — with no unnecessary theory or historical context.

​

Structured for clarity and comprehension, the two A5-format volumes (approximately 430 pages combined) follow the official SQE syllabus published by Kaplan on behalf of the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Each topic is broken down for efficient study and recall.
