ABOUT PGDL ANSWERED
PGDL Answered is our most recent distinction-level set of notes for the Postgraduate Diploma in Law course, written by our top team of qualified solicitors with input from current PGDL students.
We sell three guides for PGDL students - our Core Guide, or ULaw Core Guide and our Case Book. All three are designed with the PGDL and SQE exams in mind.
Our Core Guides are designed to help you understand the law across the core PGDL topics. They set out the essentials, explain the law in full and summarise complex points - like distinction-level revision notes. Our Case Book summarises the facts and legal principles of thousands of cases.
Core Guide
Explanations, summaries and suggested answer structures for the core modules of the PGDL: Contract Law, Torts, Criminal Law, Public Law, Land Law, Trusts and Company Law.
Case Book
Summaries of nearly 3,000 cases studied on the PGDL across the seven core modules, with comparisons between cases and key cases picked out for each topic.

WHY BUY PGDL ANSWERED?
COMPREHENSIVE
Our Core Guides cover each topic in detail, with explanations of the statute and case law that you need to know. We tell you exactly what you need to know, without all the additional waffle that you might find elsewhere on your course.
Our Case Book goes into more detail on the cases, summarising the key facts and legal principles of each case in a few lines, along with helpful guidance on key cases and how to compare and contrast the cases.
STUDENT FOCUSED
We’ve worked with students on the postgraduate diploma in law to create PGDL Answered, and every year we gather detailed comments from current students. That way, we can constantly improve our guides and make sure they stay focused on what students need.
Our motto is “We Do the Notes. You Do the Leaning” That’s because our team of lawyers is genuinely committed to making sure that Law Answered’s guides remain focused on what students really need to know.
FOR THE PGDL AND SQE
We designed PGDL Answered to help PGDL students - and in doing so we’ve paid close attention to the syllabus and examination techniques for SQE1.
Our aim is for PGDL Answered to help students studying the PGDL at various law schools and those preparing early for the SQE, so we’ve included as much relevant content as we can for everyone.
STRUCTURED ANSWERS
Examiners want you to answer questions in a certain manner – but textbooks and manuals don’t show you how. Our Core Guides include structured answers that take you through the law and show you how to apply it, step-by-step, to problem questions. Our explanations and summaries will help you answer any question that might come up in your exams.
REGULARLY UPDATED
Our Core Guides and Case Book are regularly updated in the summer each year. We also update them during the year whenever significant changes to the law occur – and when that happens we’ll email you with that update.
PROFESSIONAL
Our top team of authors and editors has a wealth of legal experience. We are qualified solicitors from top firms (one of us is even a former partner and law school careers advisor). We know what matters in practice - no academic waffle from us! We are also meticulous and exacting in our standards, so you can rely on us to tell it straight.
How does pgdl answered compare to gdl answered?
The PGDL Answered Core Guides are significantly larger than the GDL Answered equivalent, though there is a lot of overlap between the two.
The key differences are that they cover different topics. Our GDL notes include a dedicated EU Law chapter. Our PGDL notes do not. Instead, our PGDL notes have a significantly expanded Public Law chapter (including only the relevant EU Law, along with new topics such as Responsible Government), and a new Company Law chapter too.
For every stage of your LEGAL education
We also have comprehensive notes for the LPC available, and will be producing guides to the SQE. We have you covered for every stage of your professional education.
THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF YOUR REVISION TIME.
Our guides have been used by thousands of students. If you want to know more, we have sample chapters available.
Here are some great things students have said about our GDL and PGDL guides:
“I think they’re a fantastic resource and applaud the way they have been thought through, structured and presented. Well done to all involved and thank you as they certainly helped me achieve decent marks.”
“More helpful than £14k of teaching at BPP 🤷♀️”
“Wow, wow wow! A book that has benefitted me immensely over the last few months, so clear and concise with the information yet more informative than anything I’ve seen before, if you’re new to law or a seasoned student this has to be your number 1 reference for law information if not a staple on any law student or aspiring lawyers bookshelf.”
