Crown Court

Practical learning

Our full replica Crown Court features contemporary technology and will give you practical learning opportunities and allow you to develop and hone your skills.

Activities such as moot court – mock hearings in front of a judge – will challenge you intellectually and make sure you are “work ready” for a successful career in the legal sector or other professional careers.

Our Law, Criminology, Policing, and Social Sciences students are based at One Friar Gate Square.

If you are studying Forensic Psychology you could study modules in the courtroom.

“The court room definitely helps with the mock trials and the mooting and it definitely gives you practical experience. It may be tremendously hard work but it's a lot of fun.” Sam Amer LLB (Hons)
