Criminal Litigation Syllabus Spreadsheet

Get the Bar Course under control with the BATB Syllabus Spreadsheet.

Modelled on the study tracker I used to achieve top marks in Criminal Litigation, this interactive spreadsheet helps you organise and track every examinable topic and rule in the Criminal Litigation and Evidence syllabus.

It’s designed to make studying structured and stress-free, giving you a clear overview of what you’ve covered, what’s left to learn, and where to focus next.

How to Use the Spreadsheet

Use this spreadsheet to track your knowledge and progress across the syllabus. Update your study status for each topic as you read, make notes, or test yourself.

The system uses a ‘traffic light’ progress tracker to help you quickly see your strengths and gaps at a glance.

Spreadsheet fields include:

Syllabus topic and number

Scenario or area of law

Related rules and principles

Reading and note-taking status

Practice question tracking

Flashcard and revision review columns

Progress bar for visual tracking

This spreadsheet includes every examinable topic and is ideal for Bar Course students preparing for the BSB Central Assessments.

Please note: The most recent full syllabus is 2024/25. The Bar Standards Board has not released a new syllabus for 2025/26, only a summary of changes. All BLESSING AT THE BAR syllabus products are automatically updated to reflect any amendments.
