We have students from all over the world who make use of our highly effective law notes to get good results every year.

Our law notes are written by world-class legal educators and experts with many years of teaching experience at university. We know very well where you will encounter learning problems and how legal concepts and case law should be explained so that you can learn more efficiently. Unlike self-centred professors who explain legal concepts in an incomprehensible fashion, we turn difficult legal concepts into digestible bullet points arranged in a memorable sequence and supported with case law and statute law. Therefore, you are advised to read our law notes first and prepare for lessons before moving on to textbooks and lecture handouts.

You are strongly advised to rewrite our law notes in your own words and provide in-text citations and references to acknowledge the sources. We have prepared the OSCOLA Referencing Guide to help you meet the referencing requirements. If citation is not possible particularly in closed book exams, you should try your best to rephrase in your own words.

It has come to our attention that unscrupulous scammers are selling fake or modified notes to gullible law students to trick them out of money. While we take this positively as this means our law notes are highly sought after by law students all over the world, we must alert you that buying or using counterfeit notes from scammers will do serious harm to your legal education due to poor quality of the fake notes, inaccuracy of information, and intentionally altered content to make you fail. Anyone selling our law notes are fraudsters because we authorise no one to sell our law notes. Very often, these fraudsters are also scammers who will simply disappear after obtaining your money. Sometimes, they might attach our logo to any notes they found online and attempt to sell them as our law notes.

Remember that your peers are also your competitors who may set traps for you to fall into.

It has come to our attention that copycats are mimicking us by using our slogans such as "First Class Law Notes" to attract students. As a global leader in legal education, we expect this to happen. However, we have to warn you that these copycats are inferior legal educators who lack originality and creativity. Learning from them will do more harm than good to your integrity and legal education. As they simply copy our slogans as their own, you should be aware that they can do the same in their textbooks and law notes. We have trademarked UOLLB First Class Law Notes® to protect and strengthen our brand image. If you find someone using our logos, trademarks, or slogans inappropriately, please contact us to report the trademark infringement.
