    About this ebook

    Many law graduates have an opportunity to complete a dissertation when they “top-up” their post-graduate studies on the LPC or BPTC. This book is specifically aimed at law students who are undertaking a practice-focused law dissertation as part of their LLM.
    Many students start this journey without a clear understanding of what this task will need. In this easy to read introduction Suzanne will help you with the essential tasks you need to consider BEFORE choosing your dissertation title.
    By the end of the book you will have a: -
    •Clear and specific law topic;
    •Law thesis ;
    •Clear list of issues you want to explore in your dissertation;
    •Clear idea of the practical application of your area of law;
    •Plan for the research method[s] you will use.

    "My honest opinion is this is an absolute gem of a book. As I read the book it took me back to the days when I had to plan and write my own LLM dissertation. If I had known half of the information and advice Suzanne sets out in this book, the whole process of writing my dissertation would have been lot easier and more enjoyable. Writing a dissertation is a difficult task and it is easy to be overwhelmed by the whole process. This book offers compassion, wisdom and courage to anyone writing a dissertation."

      Acknowledgments

      Foreword

      I first met Suzanne when she taught civil advocacy on the Bar Professional Training Course at City University London. I discovered that she was an experienced tutor with a wealth of experience from legal practice. We kept in touch after I left law school.

      I was always keen to hear about Suzanne’s latest projects and was pleased to hear that she had finished her third book; LLM Dissertation: How to Maximise Marks for your Practice Focused Dissertation. I was even more surprised when she asked me to review the book and write this foreword. The next feeling was one of panic …what did I know about writing a foreword? I am not a famous reviewer, but I can offer you a sincere and honest opinion of the book. I have also had to write two dissertations in my academic life, one for my undergraduate degree and the second for my LLM. I understand the highs and lows of writing your first dissertation and the difference in writing for masters levels.

      Reassured that I was equipped for the task I sat down in a comfortable chair and began to read the book. I read the book carefully and thoroughly. The book is specifically written for post-graduate law students but as I read I thought a lot of the advice and tasks are very transferable to other subjects.

      My honest opinion is this is an absolute gem of a book. As I read the book it took me back to the days when I had to plan and write my own LLM dissertation. If I had known half of the information and advice Suzanne sets out in this book, the whole process of writing my dissertation would have been lot easier and more enjoyable. Writing a dissertation is a difficult task and it is easy to be overwhelmed by the whole process. This book offers compassion, wisdom and courage to anyone writing a dissertation.

      any law students have an opportunity to complete a dissertation when they top-up their post-graduate studies on the LPC or BPTC. This book is specifically aimed at law students who are undertaking this practice-focused law dissertation. Law undergraduates  undertaking their first dissertation may also find this book of general use.

      If you are undertaking a general dissertation you may find this book helpful but bear in mind the specific requirements of your own subject. If you are undertaking a dissertation for a PhD, then I am sorry this book is not for you and I suggest you put it down.

      In this book we will NOT be looking at how you carry out research, referencing or discuss primary and secondary research methods. We will NOT discuss writing your law dissertation. There are many useful university library guides and tools to help you with these topics. We will solely focus on the first difficult steps of selecting your law dissertation topic. This is a task that requires a great deal of attention because if you get this right it is the foundation to your
