Business Law and Practice; Dispute Resolution; Contract; Tort; Legal System of England and Wales; Constitutional and Administrative Law and Legal Services.  \n2. Property Practice; Wills and the Administration of Estates; Solicitors Accounts; Land Law; Trusts; Criminal Law and Practice.  \nWithin each of the above FLK assessments, questions may draw on any combination of the subject areas which might be encountered in practice.  \nEthics and Professional Conduct will be examined pervasively across the two assessments above.  \nPrinciples of taxation will be examined only in the context of:  \n• Business Law and Practice  \n• Property Law and Practice  \n• Wills and the Administration of Estates.  \nIn this document, the subject areas are grouped within two sections giving details of each of the two FLK assessments. For each area, assessment objectives are set out, followed by the knowledge of law and practice which candidates are expected to apply in order to answer questions in the assessments.  \nFunctioning Legal Knowledge  \nThe depth and breadth of knowledge of the Law of England and Wales required of candidates is that of functioning legal knowledge. This means that candidates must apply their knowledge of the law to demonstrate the competences required to the level of a newly qualified solicitor of England and Wales.  \nThe core legal principles and rules a candidate will be asked to apply are identified by subject area below. A candidate should be able to apply these fundamental legal principles and rules appropriately and effectively at the level required of a competent newly qualified solicitor in practice, to realistic client-based and ethical problems and situations. Each single best answer (SBA) question is followed by five possible answers. Candidates should mark only one answer for each question.  \nThe SQE1 FLK assessments are closed book. The questions in the assessments are designed to test the application of fundamental legal principles which can be expected of a newly qualified solicitor of England and Wales without reference to books and notes. They are not designed to test matters of detail which a newly qualified solicitor would be expected to look up.  \nCandidates will be tested on the law as it stand","cbCaimpBn2y5UPM0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimpBn2y5UPM0","pdf",656559,"English","# Overview of SQE1 Functioning Legal Knowledge assessments\n## FLK assessment 1\n## FLK assessment 2\n## Ethics and Professional Conduct\n## Principles of taxation scope\n## Functioning Legal Knowledge\n## Application of Legal Principles and Rules\n## Illustrations of question styles\n# Annexes\n## Annex 1 – Statement of Solicitor Competence\n## Annex 2 – SQE Assessment Approach\n## Annex 3 – Assessment Objectives and Statement of Solicitor Competence mapping\n## Annex 4 – Functioning Legal Knowledge blueprint\n## Annex 5 – Overview: SoSC mapped against SQE1 FLK\n## Annex 6 – Threshold Standard","[{\"question\":\"What are the two SQE1 Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK) assessments?\",\"answer\":\"The two FLK assessments cover specified subject areas.
