The curriculum
The professional core is shared. From there, choose a specialist pathway and put your learning to work in a connected client matter.
Begin with the coreAn England-and-Wales legal baseline, with separately labelled international comparisons.
Develop a shared toolkit for sound professional judgment.
Each path connects the core to specialist study and a capstone.
Work through a fictional client matter: Project Lantern for contracts, or Project Meridian for transactions. Build, review and explain your work.
*Each complete pathway has a proposed 24-week, 240-hour study plan, including the core, specialist units and capstone. Adjust the pace to your needs.

A few useful answers
Law students, graduates and legal professionals developing their commercial and professional skills. Prior legal study or equivalent preparation is recommended for specialist work. Start with the professional core and its practical readiness check.
The core supports your development; it does not replace a first law degree.
The core has 60 planned study hours. Each specialist course, including its capstone, has 180. Together, a pathway has a proposed 24-week, 240-hour plan.
These are estimates for reading, practice, feedback and reflection—not recorded video. Study at your own pace and allow more time where you need it.

The main baseline is England and Wales. New York, Delaware and US venture comparisons are separately labelled, as is the Kenyan data-protection lab. The courses ask you to identify what needs checking before applying a principle in another jurisdiction.
No. This is an editorial learning pilot, not a degree, accredited CPD/CLE programme or practising qualification. Assessed awards and automatic certificates are not active.
Jurisdiction-qualified review, assessment calibration and learner trials remain outstanding. Coursework uses fictional matters and is not legal advice.
