dont know about which unis are best in london. i suggest you follow the guardian league tables... others on the forum may know better!
If you are good at keeping on-top of things, i.e. organised then go for it. the LL.B isn't difficult as long as you do what they tell you to do! seriously just follow closely how your tutors tell you study and you'll be fine!
Prepare yourself for lots and lots and lots of reading though!
And a good memory is useful!!
the LPC is where things get tough. the topics are not difficult to grasp because its merely a shift from theory-based learning to procedural-based. however its the content/workload which is the killer!!! you are expected to give up your social life completely! you will spend around 3-5 hours at the law school in lessons, and then the rest of your day must be spent consolidating everything you learn that day and preparing for your next tutorials. each tutorial requires around 3hours of study.
assessments will be looming over you within the first month
and dont be fooled into thinking a law-school offering 'open book assessments' is any easier....there's no diffierence!
but dont let that put u off! if you enjoy law, you will manage. nobody will set examinations that are impossible to pass! If you go to a good law school like BPP, College of Law or Nottingham law school you will be given enough prep-work to make you fully prepared for any assessments. As long as you remain committed to your study time (your tutors will always tell you how much you should be doing) and as long as you ALWAYS PREPARE for your tutorials............you'll be fine inshAllah!!
im doing my LPC at the moment and am quite stressed! i find myself surfing the interner more than i should be! but i seem to be in the same boat as everyone else on my course lol. Im also on the Pro Bono scheme which is an 'extra curricular' voluntary project where you act as legal advisors under the supervision of real solicitors to advise real clients.......fun!!
