About The SAS Law School

Recent Past:

This year, 2010, the SAS Law school is developing stronger links with the Institute of Paralegals. And in support of its Jobcentre Plus work the Institute is offering free affilliate membership, for 1 year, to all jobcentre customers who under take and complete the school's free legal skills course.

During 2008 the school significantly expanded its free legal awareness and skills programme and has recently added a work placement/work experience programme which it hopes will help many during the economic down turn.

In 2007 SAS Law School became a training provider for Jobcentre Plus with the aim of helping persons back into employment.

In the same vane our 'Request a Course Fee Reduction', facility, which was launched in 2006, was utilized by many students during 2008 and was able to provide many students with significant reductions on their course fees. In some cases the fee reductions was as much as 40%. We believe that this service is a first for education. The driving principle behind this service is to help students satisfy their educational needs at a cost within their individual financial circumstances and constraints. Making it a fee rate uniquely set for the individual student.

During the past few years the school has created the most flexible and probably the most confidence building work experience programme in the UK.

More Distant Past:

The SAS Law School's history goes back 17 years. In 1993 it started as SAS (Solicitors Assistance & Support), an innovative training school seeking to help people, who were not lawyers, gain employment in the legal field.

Within a couple of years law students in growing numbers were attracted to the style and practical nature of the training programme.

Soon after that SAS found itself running its training courses for law students at various universities (Birkbeck, Bristol, East London, Guildhall, John Moores, Middlesex) in conjunction with the universities' law departments and schools.

During 2001, for example, at one particular London university, over 70% of law students trained by us gained employed work with law firms as a direct result of the school's on campus training.

Between 1996 and 1998 two teaching institutions, one based in the UK and the other based in USA formed ties with The SAS Law school.

These ties have enabled SAS to be able to offer a truly unique research based BA Law or LLB Law degree to its students (a LLM - Master in Law programme is also available).

Early in its history the school introduced free course taster downloads. The reason for this was that the school offered several distance learning courses. And being able to download course tasters/extracts could help a person interested to determine suitability, level and standard and could ultimately save a person both wasted time and money.

During late 2001 The SAS Law School introduced its ICE scholarship programme (now replaced by The Free Learning Centre progamme) aimed at countries in Africa. The School then extended The Free Learning Centre programme worldwide. (This service is no longer available)
