Weekly remote meetings and a secure messaging platform keep everyone aligned throughout the six weeks.
Live casework
Draft arguments, prepare bundles, research procedural issues — real tasks under direct supervision.

Comprehensive learning materials, supervision records, and sign-off from a qualified legal professional.
Supervised by practising lawyers

Building the next generation of legal professionals
Sequentus is a not-for-profit established in 2022. Our goal is simple — to provide flexible legal work experience to people from non-traditional backgrounds so that they can fulfil their potential.
Over the past eight years, across different organisations, our team have trained thousands of aspiring lawyers in casework methodology, giving them the knowledge and skills to complete meaningful work on client cases. We're proud that our model ensures that clients who would otherwise be denied access to justice can rely on a highly-focused team of qualified and trainee lawyers, while students get access to dynamic, real-life legal experience.
Where your fees go
There are no shareholders and no profit distributions — all of our profit is reinvested in the work: legal representation for clients who could not otherwise afford it, the training programmes, and the secure platforms the casework runs on.
Fixed intakes, one all-in fee
Places are bought against a dated intake in a specific month. Fees are payable in advance, and refundable within 14 days of booking if you have not accessed the course materials.
Starts Monday 5 October 2026 — six weeks, remote. Ends Friday 13 November 2026.

Frequently asked questions
No prior experience is required. We welcome students at all stages, from first year undergraduates to those who have completed their professional training. You will receive comprehensive learning materials and full supervision throughout.
Yes — all casework, meetings and supervision sessions take place remotely, so you can participate from anywhere in the world.
Work carried out under the supervision of a qualified solicitor can count towards QWE under the SQE framework. We will discuss your individual circumstances and provide the appropriate documentation.
Most students commit around three to five hours per week, though this varies depending on the demands of the case and your own pace of working.
We run fixed intakes so that everybody on a case starts and finishes together. The next two are Monday 5 October 2026 and Monday 11 January 2027, each running six weeks. You buy your place against a specific intake, so the dates are settled before you pay.
If you have not yet accessed the course materials, tell us within 14 days of booking and we will refund you in full. After that, or once you have opened the materials, the fee is not returned — but tell us as early as you can anyway: we can usually move you to a later intake, and if you are already on a case we need to keep the client's matter moving.
