    His quote from http://law.nuim.ie/staff/dr-brian-flanagan
    I am currently undertaking research into the notion of collective legislative intentionality at New York University School of Law as a Hauser Research Scholar, supported by a Fulbright Scholar's Award.

    Just gonna say this now, no more mentioning the lecturer's names (I know we're all giving compliments now, but it only takes one grumpy a$$ to take a negative view and start badmouthing a professor which will just get people into trouble)

    Also Siomha what were the cases we studied in first year that we couldnt stop laughing at when we heard the name?

    No mentioning names and you mention mine? Bad form :P

    Well there was defo the McGee case, the mature first years that we (*cough* you) were!

    Jaysus, there was two McGee cases! I'm talking about the Constitutional case McGee v Attorney General (we did Const and Admin first year instead of Tort)

    Yup, Norris's case to decriminalise homosexuality.

    @Paczini, McGee is all about contraception. Not as funn as it sounds.

    What you really want to look forward to is R v Slingsby in Criminal Law (if you get to do it!). Now that's... interesting... though has even gotten me in trouble!

    You do everything from scratch but ONE lecturer which name I cannot mention always gives a question where anyone is able to write more than few sentences that make sense. Otherwise it is just filling the pages hoping that something is relevant.

    They look like nonsense because you haven't studied anything yet. Calm down. There is no way you should be looking at past papers already! Give yourself some time to settle in!

    My favourite cases from my three years of undergrad law:

    AG v X (seminal abortion case, studied in Constitutional)
    R v Lipman (criminal case regarding intoxication)
    R v Brown (tort case regarding consensual sadomasochism)
    R v Bedingfield (evidence case regarding dying declarations)
    Van Gend en Loos (EU case, forget what it was about, just liked the name)
    Cassis de Dijon (AKA France v Germany) (EU case about Creme de Cassis)
    Woolmington v DPP (because of the 'Golden Thread')
    Donoghue v Stevenson (the basis of all torts)
    R v Dudley and Stevens (Cannibalism!!)

    I remember hating that case (as with pretty much all EU cases) but I will never forget the name for some reason!
