This SQE1 revision guide covers the requirements of the SRA SQE1 2026 specification for dispute resolution, which will be examined within the FLK1 assessments in January and July 2027. Designed specifically to help you prepare for the SQE1 assessment, it provides a clear, concise and highly focused overview of the subject, and covers the life of a civil claim including the different options of dispute resolution available.

The book is clearly structured around the SRA specification and focuses only on the content you need to revise for the SQE1 assessment. It provides plenty of opportunities to test your functioning legal knowledge as defined in the SQE1 syllabus. Each chapter includes five practice questions, demonstrating how to apply the relevant legal principles to SQE-style single best answer multiple-choice questions.
