Past exam papers - QLA

Below are the past exam papers for the Qualified Lawyers Assessment (QLA).

To understand what areas of law are examinable in any given subject, candidates should refer to the syllabus, not the content of the past exam papers. Past papers simply give an indication of type of question an examiner may be asking. Answers are not provided.

Exam papers are only set if candidates have enrolled on them, and so there may not be a complete set of past papers for each exam diet.
