Detailed and Topical Approach
We are the only BTT providers in Pakistan to introduce a structured programme, our mechanisms are a result of a hybrid system designed with the peculiarity of the International Bar providers and is intended to cater to the needs of transferring international lawyer’s enrolling on this course.
TILS is exclusively offering all of the below for the first time in Pakistan:
- To meet our structural goals, we have divided the course with the weekly-topical approach, thus helping our students to understand the difficult procedural concepts in chronological stages.
- Learning at each stage compliments the upcoming week's challenges and helps our students to understand the conundrums surrounding difficult short answer questions, single best answers, and multiple-choice questions set by the Bar Standard Board in the exams.
- Our topical learning is based upon the learning materials which meet all the Bar Standard Board and International Bar School’s learning outcomes. Hence, keeping our students at par with any International candidate.
Advocacy
We are the only BTT providers to have introduced three-stage skill-based learning outcomes on the Advocacy Module. The module is further divided into Civil Submissions and Applications, Examination in Chief, and Cross-Examination. The three components are mentored by expert Civil and Trial Barristers. Therefore, helping our students to learn from tutors having firsthand Litigation and Trial experience.
TILS is exclusively offering pre-recorded Advocacy Lectures that meet the learning outcomes of the module, followed by pre-recorded Advocacy demonstrations led by practicing Barristers in the UK and Pupil Barristers who successfully scored outstanding on the module.
Weekly performances of our students are backed up by recorded feedbacks, improvement-oriented critiques thus helping our students to work on them and turning their weaknesses into strengths.
Professional Ethics
At TILS, unlike many, we understood the complexity surrounding this module. We closely analysed the problems with the learning-based outcomes and tailored our very own approach to addressing the Bar Standard Board’s dupe in the short answer questions.
Therefore, we introduced a detailed topical approach to helping our students learn the Ethical outcomes every week. Our students are offered a face-to-face topical lecture substituted by a topical weekly tutorial on the exam based short answer questions. Such an approach is an exclusive initiative taken by TILS, overriding the approach taken by Bar Schools in the UK and helping our pupils to earn their spot in the 50%-55% passing ratio of each year BSB’s Ethics exam.
Our greater understanding of the academic outcomes keeps us at par with the upcoming challenges and changes in the modules initiated by the BSB for the coming years.
