The PSRAS Written Exam is a two hour 'open book' assessment which will assess your understanding of the legal adviser's role in the police station and the skills that are needed to perform that role effectively.

The Written Exam will assess your understanding of, and ability to, explain to a client relevant law and procedures drawn from the major areas listed below:

• Substantive criminal law
• The treatment of persons in custody
• The conduct of police interviews
• The evidential significance of facts or of things said or not said
• Police powers outside the police station
• The criminal process

The assessment is 'open book'. You may take any bound and published text books into the assessment or on-line materials purchased from Datalaw. These support materials can be highlighted and/or underlined but cannot be annotated.

On registration, you will be issued with a copy of our Regulations which will provide written guidance on the format, content and assessment criteria for the Written Exam.
