Questions

How are subjects and courses related?

A subject is a field of law. Each course inside it is a self-contained syllabus of numbered parts and lessons. Read a course in order; read subjects in any order.

Which course should I start with?

Follow the numbered order on this page. A course that relies on another names it on its card, and each course page lists its prerequisites. For a shorter selected sequence, follow a guided path from the Law Library.

What do the levels mean?

Foundations lessons set the vocabulary and the framework. Core lessons develop the central rules. Advanced lessons explore more detailed regimes and distinctions. These labels indicate depth, not exam priority or permission to skip material.

How is my progress saved?

In this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere and no account is needed. Clearing site data resets it.

Is every lesson available in both languages?

Almost all of them. A lesson not yet out in your language is marked on the course syllabus and in the course list beside each lesson.
