Very pleased with the lectures from London Law Lectures. They were the only "outside" help I received when studying for my degree and were invaluable when it came to revision. All the lecturers were not only knowledgable in their subject areas but also gave great tips on how to approach exam questions, in particular their step-by-step approach to problem questions was incredibly useful. I graduated with a 2:1 and couldn't have done it without them.
