2. Learnmore is the essential guide to the legal world. It
consists of articles, videos, tutorials and
presentations. The website was created in 2007 by
our well-known Law Librarian, Emily Allbon! The
website is divided into six sections: careers, exams,
moots, newbies, research and writing.
Each section has vital information which can be used
for your knowledge as well as future reference.
Not only does Learnmore assist first year students in
their studies, it also helps second and third year
students with their career and research.
3. The careers sections contains all the information you
need from legal experience to future career decisions.
As you are aware, it is significant to gain some legal
experience if you are thinking of entering the legal
world. So why not start off with Learnmore’s very own
page on “It’s So Hard To Get Legal Experience... Help!”
This is a very useful section for all year students
studying the law degree, or even thinking of entering the
legal world.
It highlights the key skills needed to develop your career
in law as well as distinguishing the difference between a
Solicitor and Barrister (by far the most common
question!)
4. The contents box is
very nicely laid out!
Paragraphs are
easy to read
Each heading easy

5. EXAMS EXAMS EXAMS!!!
Yes, the most crucial as well as stressful part of your
degree BUT! Not to fear, Learnmore is here. With its
very own section on Exams you won’t feel like
you’re on your own.
It provides tips on how to revise, write and gain top
marks for your exams.
The information is clearly laid out with headings and
paragraphs, making it easy to read and understand.
This section will help easy pressure off your mind
during your exams as you have an online guide
which you can turn to at anytime.
6. The Moots section has the most pages on the
website! It contains vital information for students
trying to understand what mooting is.
The “Mooting Video Tutorial” page not only has
written information clearly laid out, but also video
tutorials showing demonstrations! This is very useful
for students trying to get grips with mooting as the
videos show clear step-to-step guidelines.
On the next slide we will see how clearly the moots
page is laid out, consisting of pages ordered
alphabetically.
7. Alphabetically

Clear titles naming Experienced
each page student’s advice!
8. This is the section that undergraduates will most
likely be attracted to! A whole section for newbies
is just what you need if you are new to the legal
world or want information to get grips with Law.
This section gives you information on how to get
legal experience, key skills needed and how to
study abroad!
Not only does it provide information but it also
allows you access to “Twitter for Lawyers”
allowing you to ask questions whenever you need
to! This on-going help is crucial as it is there for
you during any time of your degree/career.
9. Research – the most important aspect within Law.
Fortunately, you have Learnmore to help you with
each stage.
Firstly, finding a specific law report/case/journal can
be daunting! So open up the “Finding Stuff” page
and ease your worries! This page is very beneficial
as Emily shows you how to find specific books and
why they are significant.
As well as finding stuff, this section provides you
with information on plagiarism (very important),
reading and texts! Yes, unbelievably everything you
could dream of within this very section!
10. It is a well-known fact: if you are a Law student, you
will be doing a lot of writing! So luckily, Emily has
created a whole section on it!
The first page of “Effective Note Taking” is beneficial to
read as it shows you the difference between detailed
notes and revision notes. We also learnt this in our first
lecture with Sanmeet Kaur: “Do not write down
everything the lecturer says!”
In addition to note taking, the section also provides help
with coursework. This page allows you to understand
what you should and should not do in your coursework!
The section is very helpful as it outlines tips needed for
writing and essay competitions!
11. Learnmore is a very easy-to-use website in which one can adapt
to very quickly. The colours are neutral and information is laid
out clearly underneath individual headings. Headings are
arranged alphabetically making it easier to learn and absorb all
the information provided.
The six sections are easily accessible and carry vital information.
It provides you with a lot of information regarding law,
especially for first year students. They also relate to every aspect
of law, e.g. varies form newbie's to careers.
The moots section is very helpful as it starts with the basics and
explains what it is, then goes onto problems and solutions for
developing your skills (accompanied by videos and examples).
Learnmore also provides vital tips to students in dealing with the
pressure of exams. This can also be accompanied by the section
on Writing and Research which can be very helpful during exam
and coursework periods.
12. As fantastic as it already is, everything has room for
improvement! Below are some of our suggestions:
It would be very beneficial for Learnmore to have a section
where students can ask questions and receive answers (from
either lecturers or other current students).
A page with current students giving tips and their opinions on
any stage of their degree will be very helpful. This could vary
from previous exam experiences to tips on how to achieve the
best out of your degree.
It would be helpful if Learnmore could offer a virtual online
exam-like paper or various quizzes (multiple questions) testing
your knowledge. This could be for any module or specific areas
of Law.
If possible, it would be very useful if Learnmore had a basic law
dictionary available for students online.
13. Overall, it is a very beneficial and very important website for
each person wanting to study Law or gain further information.
As a first year student it can be a useful guide for getting you
through each stage of, not only, your first year but also your
Law career.
It does not just give you information but also provides you
with a twitter page allowing you to ask questions whenever
necessary, or even just to keep updated with current events.
And, of course, thank you to Emily and everyone else who
contributed to creating such a helpful website!
