Academic integrity policy
We help you get better at law. We never do your assessed work for you.
Last updated: [date you publish]
Why this policy exists
Writing or completing work that a student submits for assessment is cheating. In England, providing or advertising paid services that complete all or part of an assignment for students at post-16 institutions, including universities and colleges, is a criminal offence under the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022. Many US states and universities have similar rules. Even where it's legal, it doesn't help anyone learn. This policy explains where we draw the line.
What we do
- Teach legal subjects, exam technique and how to structure essays and problem answers.
- Read work you've written yourself and give comments, questions and an indicative mark.
- Write model answers to practice questions that we've written ourselves, for learning structure and technique.
- Run mock exams, mock assessments and mock interviews, and tell you honestly how you did.
- Help with professional exams such as the SQE and the bar exam, where all assessment happens under exam conditions.
What we don't do
- Write, rewrite or paraphrase coursework, essays, dissertations or any other work you will submit for assessment.
- Write model answers to the questions in your live assignment, or to questions closely based on them.
- Sit, or help during, any test, quiz or exam, including online and take-home exams.
- Supply answers to assessed questions under any other name, such as "samples", "references" or "examples".
How we give feedback on assessed work
- We comment on your draft. We point out what to change and why, but we don't type the changes for you.
- Before we mark anything that will be assessed, we ask you to confirm the work is your own and that your institution allows outside feedback.
- If your university or law school doesn't allow outside feedback on assessed work, we'll work with you on practice questions instead.
Model answers
Our model answers respond to practice questions we wrote, not to anyone's assignment. They're for learning. Submitting any part of a model answer as your own work is plagiarism, and we'll refuse further services to anyone who does it.
If we're asked to cross the line
We'll decline, explain why, and offer a legitimate alternative such as feedback or tutoring on the same topic. If someone repeatedly asks us to complete assessed work, we may end our services and refund any sessions not yet delivered.
