The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) has reshaped the route to qualification in England and Wales. Instead of the LPC, candidates sit SQE1 — Functioning Legal Knowledge assessed through FLK1 and FLK2 multiple-choice papers — and SQE2, a set of practical skills assessments. The bar is high: breadth of black-letter law, speed under timed conditions, and the ability to apply rules to client scenarios. Candidates who treat preparation as unstructured reading often underperform; those who combine systematic revision with realistic simulation tend to improve faster.
LegisBox Campus is built for that second approach. Lex, the legal AI assistant, is designed to help law students and SQE candidates understand doctrine, practise under exam constraints, and keep a clear map of what they have mastered versus what remains fragile — without writing assessed work on their behalf.
What Lex does for SQE candidates
SQE1 simulation. Practise FLK1 topics (Business Law and Practice, Dispute Resolution, Contract, Tort, Legal System of England and Wales) and FLK2 topics (Property Practice, Wills and the Administration of Estates, Solicitors Accounts, Land Law, Trusts, Criminal Law and Practice, and related constitutional and administrative themes) in MCQ format aligned with the style of the official assessment. After each block, Lex surfaces error patterns so you can target weak areas rather than re-reading whole modules at random.
SQE2 skills. Client interview, Advocacy, Case and matter analysis, Legal research, Legal writing and Legal drafting are practised against the spirit of SRA competency criteria. Lex evaluates structure and legal reasoning — not cosmetic style — so you learn to justify advice with authorities and facts.
Case analyser. Upload a judgment PDF. Lex extracts Facts, Procedural history, Legal issue, Held, Ratio decidendi, Obiter dicta and Significance. That structure mirrors how strong candidates annotate authorities for FLK and for SQE2 research tasks.
Revision method
Campus encourages a weekly plan anchored to your exam date. Flashcards are generated from your notes and from primary sources on legislation.gov.uk and case law on BAILII, sorted by subject and difficulty. A progression journal distinguishes concepts you have mastered from those that remain fragile, so the next session starts where you left off rather than from a blank page. Timed simulations recreate the pressure of FLK papers and skills stations, helping you calibrate pacing before the real assessment day.
Because Lex remembers prior sessions, you avoid the classic trap of revising only comfortable topics. Fragile areas resurface until your accuracy and explanations improve. Combined with Word add-in checks on sources and reasoning, the workflow supports both doctrine and drafting practice without outsourcing your intellectual work.
Legal sources
Answers cite primary legislation via legislation.gov.uk, case law via BAILII, and Find Case Law from the National Archives where relevant. Exact citations matter for SQE research and writing tasks: Campus is designed to keep you close to verifiable authorities rather than unverifiable paraphrase.
Data for Campus accounts is hosted with a France-centred infrastructure footprint suitable for UK GDPR expectations. Registration uses a university email or an honour declaration — no student ID upload is required to start the 14-day free trial, and no card is taken during that period.
Candidates who prefer guided practice over passive reading will find the feedback loop especially useful.
Who benefits most
LLB students building case-analysis habits, GDL and LLM candidates deepening problem questions, and SQE candidates pacing FLK1/FLK2 plus SQE2 skills all fit the product design. If you need a structured companion that simulates assessments and tracks progression — without drafting your assignments — Campus is the student offer within the LegisBox family.
Preparation for the SQE is also a matter of stamina. Spreading FLK coverage across weeks, alternating doctrine with timed MCQ blocks, and scheduling SQE2 skills practice prevents last-minute overload. Campus is designed to support that cadence: short daily sessions, clear feedback loops, and a single place to track progress until exam day.
Before you sit SQE1 or SQE2, use the 14-day free period to test whether Campus fits your revision rhythm. No card is required to start.
