SQE2,
in your pocket.
The second stage is practical and skills-based. Blacklaw recreates it as it is actually sat, with a live client and marking against the published criteria.
How it mirrors the real assessment.
The genuine format
The same documents, the same timings, reading time on the clock. You sit it as you will sit it.
A live client, by voice
Interview a voiced client who discloses only what good questioning uncovers, powered by AI.
Marked to the criteria
Every answer assessed against the published criteria, A to F per criterion, with feedback in seconds.
The six assessed skills, all in one place.
Legal writing
A letter or email to a client, the other side, or a partner, on the real template.
Legal drafting
Draft or amend a legal document from a precedent, under the clock.
Case & matter analysis
A written report to a partner with legal analysis and client-focused advice.
Legal research
A research note from a provided bundle, where some sources are deliberately irrelevant.
Advocacy
Submissions to a judge, recorded aloud, assessed on structure and persuasion.
Client interview
A live voice conversation, then the attendance note that follows it.
